Self-organization for wireless multi-hop systems can be divided into two categories: proactive cluster-based solutions and reactive on-demand solutions. Whereas the former have been studied for ad-hoc networks, the latter seem more adapted to low-energy low-traffic wireless sensor networks. We show that, despite the relative high cost to build and maintain a topology, a cluster-based approach is particularly suited for Body Area Networks. We present AnyBody, a selforganization protocol in which sensors attached to a person are grouped into clusters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
