Simulation and Measurement of Dynamic On-Body Communication Channels
When communication is required between electronic systems on the body, the radio channel is variable due to the body movement. An international collaboration between universities demonstrated the efficacy of predicting the time-varying channels with a unique combination of human posture modelling and conventional electromagnetic propagation prediction techniques. This pioneering approach, widely accepted by the international body area networking community, has created a new modelling paradigm in this field. Prior to this paper there was no good method to predict this variability. The work is the output from an EPSRC grant and resulted in a Birmingham-led EPSRC consortium (£1.14m).
