Summary: This paper proposes a miniaturized textile microstrip antenna for wireless body area networks (WBAN), which uses a denim substrate to reduce surface wave losses. The monopole antenna, consisting of a modified circular radiation patch and an asymmetric defected ground structure, expands impedance bandwidth and improves radiation patterns. The antenna has a small size of 20 x 30 x 1.4 mm(3) and an impedance bandwidth of 110% (2.85-9.81 GHz). The proposed antenna shows a peak gain of 3.28 dBi at 6 GHz and meets the FCC guideline for SAR values at 4/6/8 GHz frequencies. Compared to typical wearable miniaturized antennas, the proposed antenna reduces size by 62.5% and can be integrated on a peaked cap for indoor positioning systems.

Summary: Wireless body area network (WEAN) plays a vital role in patient health monitoring, but its openness makes patient data vulnerable to unauthorized access. Existing authentication methods limit their security to intra-WEAN communications and fail to protect patient data in the inter-WEAN layer. To address this, we propose a hybrid device authentication scheme based on user-specific signal propagation signatures and lightweight symmetric encryption to secure inter-WEAN communications.
