Abstract :
This paper analyzes the application of multihop relaying to improve the physical layer security of a wireless body area network (WBAN). Based on the channel characteristics of WBAN, the secrecy outage performance for single-hop and multihop transmission is studied. Results illustrate that multihop relaying performs much better than the single-hop due to the severe path loss caused by the human body.
