Abstract :
Body Area Networks connect low-power wireless bio-sensors, which are placed in close proximity of the human body. In order to reduce energy consumption, a promising solution is to use the ultra-wideband (UWB) technology in a multiple-sensor multiple-antenna (MS-MIMO) system. This paper deals with a new empirical space-time channel model of the ground reflection.
