A 2m-Range 711uW Body Channel Communication Transceiver Featuring Dynamically-Sampling Bias-Free Interface Front End

Body Channel Communication (BCC) offers a low-loss signal transmission medium for ultra-low-power wearable devices on human body [1]. However, the effective communication range on human body is limited to less than 1m in the state-of-the-art BCC transceivers [2], where the signal loss at the interface of body surface and BCC receiver remains to...

Markov Modulated Process to Model Human Mobility

We introduce a Markov Modulated Process (MMP) to describe human mobility. We represent the mobility process as a time-varying graph, where a link specifies a connection between two nodes (humans) at any discrete time step. Each state of the Markov chain encodes a certain modification to the original graph. We show that our MMP model...
