In Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), on-body channels undergo temporal variations predominantly because of the body motion and shadowing of tissue. This paper focuses on a common human activity, walking, to explore the characteristics of the dynamic on-body propagation channel. A customized portable wireless sounder is built and utilized to collect the original on-body channel data both for the...
Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has been considered as a revolutionary technology to address current healthcare needs. However, before the extensive deployment of WBAN, one main challenge to be met is how to balance the trade-off between data transmission rate and energy efficiency. In this paper, we utilize WBAN's spatial correlation characteristics during movement and propose an efficient cross-layer...
In this paper, we investigate energy-efficiency in antenna selection OFDM-based systems. We show that an OFDM system with conventional antenna selection approaches, including per-subcarrier selection (i.e., selecting antennas independently for each subcarrier) and bulk-selection (i.e., choosing the same antennas for all subcarriers), suffers from a significant loss in energy-efficiency. To achieve...
