Abstract: The present invention is related to a radio resource allocation method for wireless sensors in body area network (BAN). This method includes determining the available radio access 5 technologies (RATs) for establishing a communications connection with the user terminal (UT); accessing attribute and policy data for the available RATs; processing the attribute, policy and sensor application data such as: type of application, Quality of Service (QoS) level or emergency condition to generate usage cost data for each of the RATs; and selecting the RAT having the lowest cost of allocation represented by the usage cost data 10 for establishing connection. ................................... ..................................... ............................... ...... ........................................ ....... ........................................ ....... ........................................... ................................ ......... .................. .....
