Dynamic link performance analysis of a rescue worker's off-body communication system using integrated textile antennas

The performance of wireless data communication for fully equipped firemen walking indoors and communicating through textile patch antennas integrated into their clothing is evaluated. The small-scale fading experienced in the building is …

Exact BER analysis for QAM transmission on arbitrary fading channels with maximal-ratio combining and imperfect channel estimation

In this contribution, we investigate the effect of imperfect channel estimation on the bit error rate (BER) performance of uncoded quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) with maximal-ratio combining (MRC) multichannel reception. The propagation …
