A Novel Prediction Model for WBAN Frequency Nonselective Fading Channel

Abstract:

The prediction of the frequency non-selective WBAN fading channel behaviors is investigated. An novel WBAN prediction channel model is implemented based on Suzuki fading channel and Rice method and the parameters of the proposed model has been adjusted through MEA, MEDS, Jakes and Monte Carlo multipath simulation method. The performance evaluation for the adaptive WBAN channel model based on simulations is given. The validity of the proposed prediction model is confirmed by comparison of the first order statistics of the measured data.
