Abstract

In this paper we aim to present the Body Area Network (BAN) channels simulation using the PyLayers physical simulation platform based on graph based ray tracing techniques and a simulation results comparison with measurements. In this work, different BAN channels, for instance, on-body and off-body are simulated in a walking scenarios in indoor environment for motion capture and group navigation applications. The simulated channels results are then compared to measured results carried out and shared by the NICTA laboratory.

Keywords: ban channels ray-tracing deterministic simulation measurements
