Summary: Wearable devices typically use electromagnetic fields for wireless information exchange, however implants suffer from absorption and transduction losses. To address this, a biphasic quasistatic brain communication is proposed, with an end-to-end channel loss of only around 60 dB at a distance of 55 mm. Using dipole-coupling-based signal transfer, the approach ensures low-loss and energy-efficient uplink from the implant to an external wearable.

Summary: This article proposes an efficient certificateless online/offline signature scheme for wireless body area networks (WBANs), demonstrating high security and performance with low computational cost. Compared to other approaches, the proposed scheme significantly reduces computational cost for offline signers (up to 89%) and supports batch verification to reduce the verifier's execution time. Additionally, the signature size of the proposed scheme is similar to conventional signature schemes.

Summary: Optical Camera Communication (OCC) technology combines Image Sensors (IS) with Visible Light Communications (VLC), which is a crucial technology for the Sixth Generation (6G) of mobile communications. This study proposes a novel OCC/S2C coding approach that improves both symbol transmission and video quality simultaneously. The application of parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) decomposition in modeling an OCC system is introduced for the first time, and computational simulations validate the effectiveness of increasing the number of video frames.

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.

Summary: This review aims to determine how exoskeletons can assist Australian Defence Force personnel with manual handling tasks. The findings suggest that exoskeletons mainly support squat/deadlift tasks through lower limb systems, with load carrying as the primary use case. Human-exoskeleton analysis is the most prevalent form of evaluation, with reported reductions in back muscle activation ranging from 15% to 54%. However, there are variations in exoskeleton evaluation procedures across studies, making comparisons difficult.
