This letter investigates nanoscale wireless communications in human tissues. Starting from propagation models, validated through real experiments, channel capacity and transmission ranges are derived for different physical transmission settings. Results highlight the challenges characterizing the communication in such a medium, thus, paving the way to novel research activities devoted to the design of pioneering nanomedical applications.

Abstract

This letter investigates nanoscale wireless communications in human tissues. Starting from propagation models, validated through real experiments, channel capacity and transmission ranges are derived for different physical transmission settings. Results highlight the challenges characterizing the communication in such a medium, thus, paving the way to novel research activities devoted to the design of pioneering nanomedical applications.
