On PHY and MAC Performance in Body Sensor Networks

On PHY and MAC Performance in Body Sensor Networks

This paper presents an empirical investigation on the performance of body implant communication using radio frequency (RF) technology. In body implant communication, the electrical properties of the body influence the signal propagation in several ways. We use a Perspex body model (30 cm...
