Abstract
Development of an appropriate propagation channel model is an important step to design wireless body area network (WBAN). Because the human body has different body shapes (male, female and child), different tissues with different permittivity and conductivity (even the same person at the different age), and limbs positions and postures are changing all the time, this made the in-body channel modelling extremely difficult, if not impossible. There are few publications on implant communication channel models compared to wearable WBAN. In this paper, we present a literature survey on radio channel modelling for WBAN, especially the IEEE 802.15.6 models. The performance of the model is studied by simulating probability density functions (PDF) and cumulative distribution functions (CDF). Finally, we briefly outline some aspects of our future research works.
