The performance of beamforming versus space-time coding using a body-worn textile antenna array is experimentally evaluated for an indoor environment, where a walking rescue worker transmits data in the 2.45 GHz ISM band, relying on a vertical …
Off-body data communication for firefighters and other rescue workers is an important area of development. The communication with a moving person in an indoor environment can be very unreliable due to channel fading. In addition, when considering …
In the 2.45 GHz band, indoor wireless off-body data communication by a moving person can be problematic due to time-variant signal fading and the consequent variation in channel parameters. Off-body communication specifically suffers from the …
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 …
Off-body data communication for firemen and other rescue workers is an important area of development. The communication with a moving person in an indoor environment can be very unreliable due to the channel fading. By transmitting and receiving …
