Abstract
In order to build WBAN devices and design WBANs, it is imperative to study the characteristics of WBAN channel and model the channel accurately. WBAN channel models are so different from the traditional mobile channel models and there are few publications on them. In this paper, we studied the statistic characteristics of the WBAN channel based on the IEEE 802.15.6 models. We focus on body surface nodes to external nodes, simulated the path loss models on 820 MHz and 2.36 GHz at both LOS and NLOS situations. We also used the Gauss model to fit the statistic results of the path loss and obtained coefficients of Gauss model.
