Different experimental WBAN channel models and IEEE802.15.6 models: Comparison and effects

摘要

In this paper, a summary of the IEEE802.15.6 wireless body area network (WBAN) radio channel models is given and the models are compared to the corresponding results obtained from the measurements carried out at the Oulu University hospital, Oulu, Finland. CWC has done a set of experimental UWB on-body channel modeling independently of the measurements that are behind the IEEE model. Being statistically more reliable, CWC''s results correspond with the models presented by the IEEE806.15.6 task group. Different scenarios for the WBAN link setups have been considered in both campaigns.
