Off-body communication in a multipath environment over time-variant channels using multiple textile antennas for the 2.45 GHz band

Abstract

The performance of wireless data communication links for fully equipped firemen walking indoor and communicating through textile patch antennas integrated into their clothing is investigated. Diversity techniques are evaluated for fourth order receiver diversity. This paper focuses on the dynamic channel estimation needed for communication between a fixed base station and a moving fireman over a time-variant channel subject to the multipath propagation in an indoor environment.
