COGNITIVE BODY COUPLED COMMUNICATION

摘要

In summary, the present invention relates to a cognitive body coupled communication (BCC) solution, where a BCC device can be used to sense a BCC medium e.g. when no data transmissions are taking place. Based on resulting observations about an influence of occurring noise and interference on different reception modes, the BCC device may decide on an optimal transmission mode. Subsequently, this transmission mode can be applied during following BCC data communications. Further, the chosen transmission and reception modes may be shared between different BCC devices in a body-area network. Thus, the reliability of communications in the body-area network can be increased.
