  Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to communication systems by integrating conductive fabric with powerline communication. The proposed system leverages frequency-shift keying (FSK) using direct digital synthesis (DDS) for modulation and digital signal processing (DSP) for demodulation at the physical (PHY) layer, and a frame structure at the medium access control (MAC) layer for the conductive fabric channel with multiple nodes. The primary innovation lies in the practical application of conductive fabric as a dynamic communication medium, showcasing its modulation adaptability and robust data exchange along with the power supply. The frame format, in the PHY and MAC layers, serves to efficiently transmit reliable data between multiple nodes over the fabric. The implementation validates the nodes and system design, showing its signal and communication robustness and its potential for diverse applications such as the chatting program example and beyond the realm of wearable devices. The paper shifts the spotlight towards conductive fabric communication, emphasizing its relevance and significance as an adaptable and promising medium for future communication systems.
