Outage capacity analysis of cluster-based forwarding scheme for Body Area Network using nano-electromagnetic communication

The emergence of nano-electromagnetic communication becomes appealing for potential applications in nano-scale Body Area Network. In this work a new energy aware communication model for nano-electromagnetic communication in Terahertz Band is developed based on clustering scheme for the performance improvement of BAN. The proposed conceptual network model is used to determine channel capacity. A closed-form expression for outage probability is also derived. The approach is extended to determine outage capacity for maintaining a constant rate with a specified outage probability. Simulation shows that in term of capacity, proposed scheme outperforms the random forwarding scheme.
