  "abstract": "In this paper methodology to exploit creeping wave\nfor body area network BAN communication reliability are described.\nCreeping wave propagation effects are visualized & analyzed.\nDuring this work Dipole, IA antennas various antennas were\nredesigned using existing designs and their propagation\ncharacteristics were verified for optimum performance when used on\nBANs. These antennas were then applied on body shapes-including\nrectangular, spherical and cylindrical so that all the effects of actual\nhuman body can be taken nearly into account. Parametric simulation\nscheme was devised so that on Body channel characterization can be\nvisualized at front, curved and back region. In the next phase\nmultiple inputs multiple output MIMO scheme was introduced where\nvirtual antennas were used in order to diminish the effects of\nantennas on the propagation of waves. Results were, extracted and\nanalyzed at different heights. Finally based on comparative\nmeasurement and analysis it was concluded that on body propagation\ncan be exploited to gain spatial diversity.",
