People worldwide are getting older and this fact has pushed the need for designing new,
more pervasive, and possibly cost effective healthcare systems. In this field, distributed and …

We consider reliable communications in Body Area Networks (BAN), where a set of nodes
placed on human body are connected using wireless links. In order to keep the Specific …

IEEE 802.15. 4 addresses low-rate wireless personal area networks, enables low power
devices, and includes a number of security provisions and options (the security sublayer) …

The problem of matching perspective views of coplanar structures composed of line
segments is considered. Both model-to-image and image-to-image correspondence …

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in a wide range of application
scenarios ranging from structural monitoring to health-care, from surveillance to industrial …

When a person is walking the RF signal strength of an on-body communication link may
exhibit significant fluctuation with peak-to-peak amplitudes beyond 20 dB. Instantaneous …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted growing interest in the last decade as an
infrastructure to support a diversity of ubiquitous computing and cyber-physical systems …

Abstract The IEEE 802.15. 4 standard allows devices to access the medium not only in
contention mode but also in a contention-free way, in order to support quality of service …

Well-designed wireless sensor networks (WSNs) usually provide vital support for collecting,
processing, and forwarding the real-time information in mission-critical applications where …

Abstract Wireless Body Area Networks (BAN) are supposed to operate in very low transmit
power regime in order to keep the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) low. Low power …
