Accuracy of UWB Path Loss-Based Localization of Wireless Capsule Endoscopy. [PDF]
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is used to diagnose lesions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The physicians require to know the exact position of the lesions which can be performed by localizing the WCE in the GI tract. In this paper, we propose ultra‐wideband (UWB) path loss‐based WCE localization and compute the Cramer–Rao lower bound (CRLB) to ...

Pragmatic authenticated key agreement for IEEE Std 802.15.6 [PDF]
AbstractThe IEEE Std 802.15.6 is the latest international standard for Wireless Body Area Networks. The security of communication in this standard is based upon four elliptic-curve-based key agreement protocols. These protocols have been shown to exhibit serious security vulnerabilities but surprisingly, do not provision any privacy guarantees. To date,

Design of Low‐profile ultrawideband Antennas for Body‐Centric Communications using the FDTD method
A one square centimetre omnidirectional wearable antenna is successfully built. It covers the entire UWB range. No need for special dielectric substrates or specific coaxial connectors. Abstract Low‐profile coplanar waveguide antennas are successfully designed considering body‐centric communications requirements.
