Channel characterization for single- and multiple-antenna wearable systems used for indoor body-to-body communications
First characterisation and modelling of body-to-body communications channels, and first paper to introduce the concept of a body-to-body network (BBN). Appeared in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation Special Issue on Antennas and Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communications in April 2009. It was the first application of kappa-mu statistics to wireless fading channels and demonstrated the utility of novel kappa-mu second order statistics such as level crossing rates and average fade duration previously derived and published by the author. This work is currently being extended through collaborations with Georgia Tech, USA and the University of Campinas, Brazil.
