“…There are some studies in the literature that integrate the CR and WBAN technologies. [16][17][18][19][20] However, the IEEE 802.15.6 standard and channel bonding technique have not been used in these studies. In this context, the proposed approach is the first study in the literature that uses the CR technology for 802.15.6-based WBAN.…”

“…In Ali et al, 16 a new CR-based Media Access Control (CR-MAC) protocol was developed for WBASNs using CR transmission, where sensor nodes are classified as critical and noncritical health information nodes. In Lee et al, 17 the authors proposed a protocol with energy efficiency and low latency by providing asynchronous and fast channel transition specially designed for WBAN with CR features.…”

Today, developments in wireless technologies and the increase in disaster cases reveal the necessity of various wireless technologies cooperation. Several technologies are able to cooperate with each other for eHealth, IoT, and so forth applications in disaster cases with the pros and cons of today's communications. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) and cognitive radio (CR) are promising technologies that can be used together to troubleshoot communication problems and make rescue operations successful in disaster situations. WBAN is a radio frequency-based wireless network technology that aims to monitor the functions and conditions of the human body through the sensor nodes that form a network. CR proposes solutions to current problems of wireless communications such as spectrum scarcity and inefficient use of the spectrum. In this study, CR-based WBAN architecture is proposed in disaster cases, and so the emergency, time-critical, and vital signs of WBAN users (endangered people and rescue team members) are able to reach the health unit or disaster management unit in an opportunistic way. CR technology is integrated with a WBAN architecture utilizing the CSMA/C-based IEEE 802.15.6 standard, and performance analysis is executed with the Riverbed Modeler simulation software. Furthermore, using the channel bonding technique, the throughput, the delay, the packet delivery ratios, and energy consumption ratios of the proposed architecture are investigated. According to the results, it was found that CR-based WBAN architecture was 25% more successful in energy efficiency and 5% more successful in packet delivery ratio with channel bonding technique than the traditional WBAN.

“…[21,26,51,53]. Besides, some MAC protocols address another special class of traffic referred to as emergency traffic [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]. But, practically, classification of traffic is context-dependent [53].…”

In Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), every healthcare application that is based on physical sensors is responsible for monitoring the vital signs data of patient. WBANs applications consist of heterogeneous and dynamic traffic loads. Routine patient’s observation is described as low-load traffic while an alarming situation that is unpredictable by nature is referred to as high-load traffic. This paper offers a thematic review of traffic adaptive Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols in WBANs. First, we have categorized them based on their goals, methods, and metrics of evaluation. The Zigbee standard IEEE 802.15.4 and the baseline MAC IEEE 802.15.6 are also reviewed in terms of traffic adaptive approaches. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the protocols is made and their performances are analyzed in terms of delay, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and energy consumption. The literature shows that no review work has been done on traffic adaptive MAC protocols in WBANs. This review work, therefore, could add enhancement to traffic adaptive MAC protocols and will stimulate a better way of solving the traffic adaptivity problem.

“…Recently, the Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer has been extensively studied to evaluate the performance of the WPANs standard MAC protocols through mathematical analysis and simulation as well as proposing and evaluating a new approaches to enhance and enrich these standards [1,4,[10][11][12] In this paper we conduct a comprehensive review for the proposed WPAN network architecture and its MAC protocols. Also, for providing a collective document for the state-of-the-art in wireless personal area networks, a comprehensive literature review of the performance evaluation and protocol enhancement for the proposed WPANs' MAC protocols is given.…”

Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) is an emerging technology for future short range indoor and outdoor multimedia and data centric applications. Two types of WPANs have been standardized by the IEEE 802.15 working group; namely: High data Rate WPANs (HR-WPANs) and Low data Rate WPANs (LR-WPANs). These standards define the network architecture, the physical layer and the medium access control sublayer for these systems. A tremendous number of performance studies through mathematical analysis and simulation have been published. Also, many products have appeared in the market which indicate a clear sign of a quick acceptance to the published standards. An organized review of the network architecture, the physical layer specifications, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols and the general network operation concepts of the WPAN systems deserves time and effort to be presented in a collective manner. In this paper we describe the concept of WPANs and its applications. Then, the communication architecture and the allocated frequency spectrum for WPAN operation are explained. The developed MAC sublayer protocols in the literature are explored.
