On-Body UWB Channel Classification and Characterization for Various Physical Exercises
This paper presents classification, characterization and modelling of ultra-wideband (UWB) on-body channel links while performing various physical exercises. The physical exercises mainly focus on range-of-motion exercises in which the upper and lower limb movement is dominant. Such exercises are su...
