Human body communication (HBC) is a new technology for mobile and wearable devices operating over body area networks. In HBC, the body is used as a medium for transmitting data between devices to replace wired and wireless technologies. This study examines the bit error rate (BER) degradation experienced by HBC systems under the presence of co‐channel interference. A degradation model is proposed to estimate the change in BER, and a selective simulation method is proposed to obtain the BER performance with a small exceedance probability and a small number of BER samples.
