Body centric wireless networking and communications is an emerging
4G technology for short (1-5 m) and very short (below 1 m) range
communications systems, used to connect devices worn on (or in) the
body, or between two people in close proximity. It has great
potential for applications in healthcare delivery, entertainment,
surveillance, and emergency services. This book brings together
contributions from a multidisciplinary team of researchers in the
field of wireless and mobile communications, signal processing and
medical measurements to present the underlying theory,
implementation challenges and applications of this exciting new
technology. Topics covered include: diversity and cooperative
communications in body area networks; ultra wideband radio channel
characterisation for body-centric wireless communication; sparse
characterisation of body-centric radio channels; antenna / human
body interactions in the 60 GHz band; antennas for ingestible
capsule telemetry; in vivo wireless channel modelling; diversity
and MIMO for efficient front-end design of body-centric wireless
communications devices; on-body antennas and radio channels for GPS
applications; textile substrate integrated waveguide technology for
the next-generation wearable microwave systems; ultra wideband
body-centric networks for localisation and motion capture
application; down scaling to the nano-scale in body-centric
nano-networks; and the road ahead for body-centric wireless
communication and networks.
Recent advancements in carbon and molecular electronics have opened
the door to a new generation of electronic nanoscale components.
This book outlines the basic principles of electromagnetic-based
communication at this nanoscale using terahertz and optical
frequencies with a focus on theoretical principles and
applications. It answers the questions: How can nano-devices
communicate with each other by applying electromagnetic techniques?
Do conventional communication and networking schemes and principles
still apply? How feasible is it to deploy such networks with
various applications? Topics covered include an introduction to
nano-communication; fundamentals and applications of
nano-electromagnetic communications; simulation and experimental
platforms for nano-electromagnetic communication networks;
terahertz antenna design for wearable applications; terahertz
application in food contamination detection; channel modelling for
electromagnetic nano-communication; modulation, coding and
synchronization techniques for nano-electromagnetic communications
in the terahertz band; routing protocols for nano-electromagnetic
communication networks; error control mechanisms for
nano-electromagnetic communication networks; and conclusion and
future outlook.
This book is focused on wireless infrastructure deployment in
modern transportation markets, where the wireless infrastructure
co-exists with the existing structure. It details the challenges
this deployment may face and explores the mitigation measures to
overcome the challenges. The book proposes a smart antenna
structure to overcome airspace congestion, which improves the
overall wireless performance and deployment cost. With the
combination of practical know-how and theoretical estimation, this
book provides insight on how the modern smart antenna techniques
that support most cutting-edge wireless technology can be adopted
into the existing infrastructure whilst minimising the distraction
to the existing system. This book is suitable for industrial and
academic researchers, practising engineers within the field of
smart antennae, and wireless infrastructure designers and
developers.
