Antenna design for footwear is an essential part of enabling reliable wireless links with lower-limb sensors used in body centric networks. Sensors can report biomechanical pressure data to analyse kinematic and posture parameters for a range of medical and sporting applications. Consideration is given to antenna shapes, the fit with shoe shapes, the positioning on the shoe and the radiation pa...

The human body is an extremely challenging environment for the operation of wireless communications systems, not least because of the complex antenna-body electromagnetic interaction effects which can occur. This is further compounded by the impact of movement and the propagation characteristics of the local environment which all have an effect upon body centric communications channels. As the ...

The recent paradigm shift in the Internet’s usage, from the host-centric communication model to a model where users request information irrespectively of its location, is coupled with an increasing need for converged and seamless access over heterogeneous wired and wireless (fixed, cellular, and satellite) networks. Using a satellite network emulator within a publish/subscribe Information Centr...

The recent proliferation of ever smaller and smarter electronic devices, combined with the introduction of wireless communication and mobile software technologies enables the construction of a large variety of pervasive applications. The inherent complexity of such applications along with their nonexpert clientele raises the necessity of building middleware solutions. This paper proposes to use...

Millimetre-wave frequencies are defined as one of the front-runner contenders for body-centric wireless communication. In this study, low-profile antenna with substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) has been proposed that operate in band millimetre-wave frequency centred at 60 GHz. The implemented use FR4 εr and tangent loss 4.3 0.025, respectively. height size 1.5875 mm 20 x mm, performance is ev...

Content centric network (CCN) is conceived as a good candidate for a futuristic Internet paradigm due to its simple and robust communication mechanism. By directly applying the CCN paradigm in wireless multihop mobile ad hoc networks, we experience various kind of issues such as packet flooding, data redundancy, packet collisions, and retransmissions etc., due to the broadcast nature of the wir...
