Abstract :
Observability of 60 GHz wireless body area networks is being investigated, in the context of the maximum outdoor detection range for such a network. An off-body channel within a scattering environment has been characterized. By decomposing the detection channel into a free-space channel and a body-local environment channel, an observability estimation model is proposed based on the measured data.
