US Patent for Human body communication interference rejection system Patent (Patent # 11,387,854 issued July 12, 2022) - Justia Patents Search
A communication interference rejection system, comprising a dual data rate (DDR) receiver operatively connected to a device connected to a body of a user. The DDR receiver is configured to receive a signal transmitted through the body of the user, with the signal comprising a relatively substantially small constant amplitude component and a relatively large sinusoidal or modulated interference component, said interference component due to human body antenna effect. The receiver integrates the signal and sample at a sampling time, with the sampling time defined as Ts=n/Finterference, wherein Finterference is the frequency of the modulated interference component and n is an integer.

Medium Access Control (MAC) for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN): Superframe structure, multiple access technique, taxonomy, and challenges - Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences
Health monitoring using biomedical sensors has witnessed significant attention in recent past due to the evolution of a new research area in sensor network known as Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In WBANs, a number of implantable, wearable, and off-body biomedical sensors are utilized to monitor various vital signs of patient’s body for early detection, and medication of grave diseases. In literature, a number of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for WBANs have been suggested for addressing the unique challenges related to reliability, delay, collision and energy in the new research area. The design of MAC protocols is based on multiple access techniques. Understanding the basis of MAC protocol designs for identifying their design objectives in broader perspective, is a quite challenging task. In this context, this paper qualitatively reviews MAC protocols for WBANs. Firstly, 802.15.4 and 802.15.6 based MAC Superframe structures are investigated focusing on design objectives. Secondly, different multiple access techniques such as TDMA, CSMA/CA, Slotted Aloha and Hybrid are explored in terms of design goals. Thirdly, a two-layered taxonomy is presented for MAC protocols. First layer classification is based on multiple access techniques, whereas second layer classification is based on design objectives and characteristics of MAC protocols. Critical and qualitative analysis is carried out for each considered MAC protocol. Comparative study of different MAC protocols is also performed. Finally, some open research challenges in the area are identified with initial research directions.
