Abstract

This paper makes a case for a communication architecture for electronic textiles (e-textiles). The properties and requirements of e-textile garments are described and analyzed. Based on these properties, the authors make a case for employing wired, digital communication as the primary on-garment communication network. The implications of this design choice for the hardware architecture for e-textiles are discussed.
