In-to-Out Body Antenna-Independent Path Loss Model for Multilayered Tissues and Heterogeneous Medium.

In this paper, we investigate multilayered lossy and heterogeneous media for wireless body area networks (WBAN) to develop a simple, fast and efficient analytical in-to-out body path loss (PL) model at 2.45 GHz and, thus, avoid time-consuming simulations. The PL model is an antenna-independent model and is validated with simulations in layered medium, as well as in a 3D human model using electromagnetic solvers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
