Characterization of Dynamic Wireless Body Area Network Channels During Walking.zip

Thus accounting for dynamic aspects and body postures. This involves the study of on-body, off-body, and body-to-body communication.

The channels were investigated in terms of fade variation and their corresponding amplitude distributions. For on-body channels the fade variation was found to be periodic, with larger fade variations for the channels involving the nodes at the hand and thigh. For off-body and body-to-body channels, channels with absence of line of sight, experienced constructive and destructive interference as the distance between the end nodes changes, resulting in larger fade variations.
