Description: A new approach to compare models for body area
networks (BAN) that accommodates multiple links and multiple
subjects is presented. The absolute measure described allows
comparison across a spectrum of possible characterizations
ranging from single-parameter for an entire ensemble, through
to per-activity, per-subject and per-link based parameterized
models. The use of an explicit trade-off between error and
complexity, combined in a goodness-of-fit measure, is shown
to have important consequences when applied to a range of
typical BAN channel data. It is shown that there are different
implications in choice of model, and it’s associated complexity, for
mixed-activity “everyday” data, when compared with set-activity
dynamic data (e.g. walking). The deficiency of mean path loss,
or even median path loss measures, as a sole characterization of
the BAN channel is also highlighted.
