Wideband Channel Characterisation for Body and Personal Area Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Indoor channel measurements for body and personal area network applications have been conducted between a number of on-body positions and to three nearbypeer locations. Particular attention has been paid to the relation between the channel characteristics and the user’s motion. The results demonstrate how the channel characteristics in BANs/PANs are dominated by the effects of body blocking. With body shadowing losses reaching 40 dB, non-LOS links rely on multipath propagation in the surrounding environment.

متن کاملOutage Probability Bound and Diversity Gain for Ultra-Wideband Multiple-Access Relay Channels with Correlated Noises
In this paper, Ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple access relay channel with correlated noises at the relay and receiver is investigated. We obtain outer and inner bounds for the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multiple access relay channel, and also, a diversity gain bound. Finally, we evaluate some results numerically and show that noise correlation coefficients play important role in determining relay position.
