We present a predictor for real Body-Area-Network (BAN) channels that is accurate for up to
2 seconds, even with a nominal channel coherence time of 500 ms. The predictor utilizes the …

Methods for transmit power control based on simple long-term channel prediction for the
general body-area communications channel are presented. The power control methods are …

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have received much attention due to the possibility
to be used in healthcare applications. For these applications, energy saving is a critical …

Energy consumption is an important issue in body area networks (BANs). In this letter, we
propose an energy efficient transmission power control scheme for IEEE 802.15. 6 BANs …

The wireless channels in Body Area Networks (BANs) have significant temporal variations
due to body movements. Therefore there is a potential to save energy by exploiting adaptive …

We propose a class of adaptive power control protocol, where the period between each
feedback transmission is adaptively varied to accommodate run-time variation in the quality …
