“…The Bluetooth technology, arguably one of the first PAN technologies, was standardized in 1998 by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, the physical and MAC layer evolved into the IEEE 802.15.1 standard. In the year 2003, the first version of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard appeared, which was designated as a low-rate wireless PAN technology, and which had addressed energy-efficiency as a key design goalthis made IEEE 802.15.4 popular in the realm of WSNs, and there has also been a body of work considering its usage for BSNs [222][223][224]. In 2007, the IEEE has established a task group for creating a dedicated body sensor networking standard under the designation IEEE 802.15.6, the first version of which was published in 2012 [225].…”

Infrastructure‐less networks connect communication devices end‐to‐end by managing links and routes independent of fixed networking facilities, relying on dedicated protocols running on end‐user devices. The large variety of infrastructure‐less concepts and related aspects can be confusing both for beginning Ph.D. students as well as experienced researchers who wish to get an overview of neighbouring areas to their own research foci. Frequently discussed topics such as different types of sensor‐, vehicular‐, or opportunistic networks are covered. The authors describe different networking concepts by looking at aspects such as the main properties, common applications, and ongoing research. Furthermore, the concepts by common characteristics such as node mobility, network density, or power consumption are compared. The authors also discuss network performance evaluation by describing commonly used metrics, different evaluation techniques, and software tools for simulation‐based evaluation. The references given in each section help obtain in‐depth information about the presented topics and give hints about open research questions, which can be a starting point for own investigations.

“…The performance evaluation has been carried out for the case of external interference coming from WiFi interferers. A similar mechanism has been used in [26] for a scenario in which many co-located IEEE 802.15.4 networks have to share the same channel resources in the 2.4 GHz band and create so-called internal interference to each other. The results show that with autonomous channel adaptation a better utilization can be achieved and more WBSNs achieve satisfactory packet loss performance.…”

In this paper we model a situation where several wireless body sensor networks (WBSN) compete for occupation of a number of frequency channels. Each channel can host at most one WBSN with satisfactory performance and WBSNs have the ability to change their operating channel, subject to the constraint that they can only monitor the performance or occupancy of their current channel but not of any other channel. We consider a number of randomized schemes for changing the frequency channels and present and evaluate Markov chain models for these, building on a "balls-in-bins" approach.

“…The 2.4 GHz provides sixteen frequency spectrums and provides a higher 250 kbps channel data rate. With this higher channel support, it is designed for world and 802.15.4 MAC layer uses 2.4 GHz for wireless communication [28]. However, the suggested MACs for WBAN do not focus on the design problems of channels using 2.4 GHz that are channel overlapping, collision, channel bandwidth utilization, and a guard band between channels.…”

EETP-MAC: energy efficient traffic prioritization for medium access control in wireless body area networks

et al. 2017

Wireless body area network (WBAN) has witnessed significant attentions in the healthcare domain using biomedical sensor-based monitoring of heterogeneous nature of vital signs of a patient's body. The design of frequency band, MAC superframe structure, and slots allocation to the heterogeneous nature of the patient's packets have become the challenging problems in WBAN due to the diverse QoS requirements. In this context, this paper proposes an Energy Efficient Traffic Prioritization for Medium Access Control (EETP-MAC) protocol, which provides sufficient slots with higher bandwidth and guard bands to avoid channels interference causing longer delay. Specifically, the design of EETP-MAC is broadly divided in to four folds. Firstly, patient data traffic prioritization is presented with broad categorization including Non-Constrained Data (NCD), Delay-Constrained Data (DCD), Reliability-Constrained Data (RCD) and Critical Data (CD). Secondly, a modified superframe structure design is proposed for effectively handling the traffic prioritization. Thirdly, threshold based slot allocation technique is developed to reduce contention by effectively quantifying criticality on patient data. Forth, an energy efficient frame design is presented focusing on beacon interval, superframe duration, and packet size and inactive period. Simulations are performed to comparatively evaluate the performance of the proposed EETP-MAC with the state-of-the-art MAC protocols. The comparative evaluation attests the benefit of EETP-MAC in terms of efficient slot allocation resulting in lower delay and energy consumption.
