This module describes the implementation of the IEEE 802.15.6: Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) PHY layer in accordance with standard specifications. It also includes the BodyPropagationLossModel, which calculates path loss and evaluates the interference caused by the presence of a human body within the network.

The current error rate model for IEEE 802.15.6 is designed for a DBPSK (Differential Binary Phase Shift Keying) modulation scheme in an AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel. This physical layer model is based on SpectrumPhy and adheres to the specifications outlined in Section 8.8 of IEEE Std 802.15.6-2012.
