dc.description.abstract | A novel dynamic channel model for on-body wireless communication during walking is proposed. The developed
model utilizes a human walking model which provides detailed information on the movement of the human body
parts. The diffraction of the signal around the body parts is used to describe the time-varying shadowing effects. Body
part movements are also used to estimate the signal fading caused by angular variations of the transmitting and
receiving antenna gains. A Rice distribution is used to represent the multipath fading effects caused by objects
around the human body. Simulation results of the first- and second-order statistics of the received signal affected by
moving body parts for 2.4 GHz signal are presented. To illustrate the capabilities of the developed model, time series
were generated and used in system performance calculations. The obtained results give an insight into the potential
advantages of link diversity technique in wireless body area networks (WBANs). | nb_NO |
