Data Transmission Enhancement Using Optimal Coding Technique Over Channel for Interbody Communication.

Wireless actuators and sensors are examples of sophisticated technologies. Another breakthrough is the use of wireless medical devices, which provide scalable and cost-effective solutions for wearable device integration. wireless body area networks devices reduce surgery invasiveness and provide continuous health monitoring. Also, patient data may be collected over a long period of time. Given the large fading in channels due to the signal path going through flesh, bones, skins, and blood, channel coding is considered a solution for increasing the efficiency and overcoming inter-symbol interference in wireless communications. Simulations are performed by using 50 MHz bandwidth at Ultra-Wideband frequencies (3.10-10.60 GHz). Optimal channel coding (Turbo codes, Convolutional codes, with the help of polar codes) improves data transmission performance over the channel in this research. Moreover, the results reveal that turbo codes outperform polar and convolutional codes in terms of bit error rate. Other approaches perform similarly when the information block length is increased. The simulation in this work indicates that the channel shows less performance than the Rayleigh channel due to the dense structure of the human body (flesh, skins, blood, bones, muscles, and fat).
