“…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.

“…At the beginning of data transfer, each node allocates a timeslot whereas a node can transmit critical and non-critical data. Therefore, 'G' is the total number of packets which are ready for transmission at the initial time slot as described as G = x=X x=1 n=r x n=0 C n x [53]. Where 'x' is the traffic index, 'n' is the retransmission of the lost traffic and its range is from 1, 2, 3 to r x .…”

Health monitoring using biomedical sensors has witnessed significant attention in recent past due to the evolution of a new research area in sensor network known as Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In WBANs, a number of implantable, wearable, and off-body biomedical sensors are utilized to monitor various vital signs of patient’s body for early detection, and medication of grave diseases. In literature, a number of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for WBANs have been suggested for addressing the unique challenges related to reliability, delay, collision and energy in the new research area. The design of MAC protocols is based on multiple access techniques. Understanding the basis of MAC protocol designs for identifying their design objectives in broader perspective, is a quite challenging task. In this context, this paper qualitatively reviews MAC protocols for WBANs. Firstly, 802.15.4 and 802.15.6 based MAC Superframe structures are investigated focusing on design objectives. Secondly, different multiple access techniques such as TDMA, CSMA/CA, Slotted Aloha and Hybrid are explored in terms of design goals. Thirdly, a two-layered taxonomy is presented for MAC protocols. First layer classification is based on multiple access techniques, whereas second layer classification is based on design objectives and characteristics of MAC protocols. Critical and qualitative analysis is carried out for each considered MAC protocol. Comparative study of different MAC protocols is also performed. Finally, some open research challenges in the area are identified with initial research directions.
