A Comparative Study of On-Body Radio-Frequency Links in the 420 MHz–2.4 GHz Range

A Comparative Study of On-Body Radio-Frequency Links in the 420 MHz–2.4 GHz Range

While there exists a wide variety of radio frequency (RF) technologies amenable for usage in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), which have been studied separately before, it is currently still unclear how their performance compares in true on-body scenarios. In this paper, a single reference on-bo...
