Analyzing Delay in Wireless Multi-hop Heterogeneous Body Area Networks

With increase in ageing population, health care market keeps growing. There is a need for monitoring of health issues. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) consists of wireless sensors attached on or inside human body for monitoring vital health related problems e.g, Electro Cardiogram (ECG), Electro Encephalogram (EEG), ElectronyStagmography (ENG) etc. Due to life threatening situations, timely s...

Multi-hop Wireless Body Area Network Design for WUSB support in Wireless Home Networks

The wireless universal serial bus (WUSB) connects personal computers (PCs) to their peripherals and the consumer-electronics (CE) in people’s living home networks. A wireless body area network (WBAN) allows the integration of intelligent, miniaturized, low-power sensor nodes that monitor body functions and the surrounding environment. In this paper, we propose a method for multi-hop network ext...

Power and delay optimisation in multi-hop wireless networks

In this paper, we study the optimization problem of transmission power and delay in a multi-hop wireless network consisting of multiple nodes. The goal is to determine the optimal policy of transmission rates at various buffer and channel states, in order to minimize the power consumption and the queueing delay of the whole network. With the assumptions of interference-free links and independen...

Energy Aware Routing in Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

Heterogeneous wireless networks with wireless devices supporting multitude of radio access technologies are witnessing increasing interest from network providers and consumers alike. Energy efficiency in such networks has become an important design consideration due to the limited battery life of mobile terminals on one side, and the ever increasing operational expenses pertaining to energy exp...
