TL;DR: The industrial environment is categorized into different topographies and large-scale fading is well expressed by a one-slope path-loss model and excellent agreement with a lognormal distribution is obtained.

TL;DR: The propagation channel between two half-wavelength dipoles at 2.45 GHz, placed near a human body is discussed and an application for cross-layer design is presented in order to optimize the energy consumption of different topologies.

TL;DR: The power consumption in the different types of networks is characterized and strategies to reduce the power consumption are discussed.

TL;DR: Cascading Information retrieval by Controlling Access with Distributed slot Assignment (CICADA) as discussed by the authors is a cross-layer communication protocol for WBANs that sets up a network tree in a distributed manner and subsequently uses the tree structure to guarantee collision free access to the medium and to route data towards the sink.

TL;DR: A flexible folded slot dipole implantable antenna operating in the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band (2.4-2.4835 GHz) for biomedical applications is presented in this paper.
