In this invited paper, the authors introduce an overview of the fundamentals of radio frequency (RF) channel measurement and modeling techniques needed for localization inside the human body. To address these fundamentals, the authors use capsule endoscopy as an example application. The authors first provide the results of the Cramer Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) for received signal strength (RSS) based endoscopy capsule localization, inside the human body, using existing path-loss models for radio propagation. Then challenges demanding further research are highlighted for attaining more precise localization using the time-of-arrival (TOA) based ranging techniques.

This article proposes receiver spatial diversity propagation path-loss channel models based on real-field measurement campaigns that were conducted in a line-of-site (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) indoor laboratory environment at 2.4 GHz. We apply equal gain power combining (EGC), coherent and noncoherent techniques, on the received signal powers. Our empirical data is used to propose spatial diversity propagation path-loss channel models using the log-distance and the floating intercept path-loss models. The proposed models indicate logarithmic-like reduction in the path-loss values as the number of diversity antennas increases. In the proposed spatial diversity empirical path-loss models, the number of diversity antenna elements is directly accounted for, and it is shown that they can accurately estimate the path-loss for any generalized number of receiving antenna elements for a given measurement setup. In particular, the floating intercept-based diversity path-loss model is vital to the 3GPP and WINNER II standards since they are widely utilized in multi-antenna-based communication systems.
