Physiological signals such as body temperature, heart rates and electrocardiogram (ECG) have been widely utilized for health monitoring applications. In order to detect the signals without cumbersome wires, heterogeneous body sensor nodes including wearable or implantable biomedical devices are wirelessly connected to each other forming a personal body sensor network (BSN) [1]. The physiologica...

In this paper, on-body radio channel performance of a compact ultra wideband (UWB) antenna is investigated for body-centric wireless communications. Measurement campaigns were first done in the chamber and then repeated in an indoor environment for comparison. The path loss parameter for eight different on-body radio channels has been characterized and analyzed. In addition, the path loss was m...

in this paper, we consider a cooperative cognitive radio network in which there is an ofdm primary link and multiple single carrier secondary links.the primary link is required to maintain its secrecy rate above a predefined threshold. if the secrecy rate requirement is not satisfied, the secondary system help primary link to maintain its secrecy rate requirement. in doing so, the secondary trans...

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) paradigm will enable next generation healthcare by enhancing human abilities, supporting continuous body monitoring and restoring lost physiological functions due to serious impairments. This paper presents intra-body communication solutions that interconnect implantable devices for application the nervous system, challenging specific features complex scena...

In this paper, the characteristics of microstrip monopole antennas are studied firstly in free space. Secondly, effects human body on antenna's performance investigated for wearable communications. Different patch shapes antenna chosen to operate at two bands: industrial scientific and medical band (ISM) ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The consists a radiating element one side substrate part...
