Maximizing Throughput of Cluster-Based WBAN with IEEE 802.15.6CSMA/CA

According to as urge in demand of wireless body area network (WBAN), there are many researches on WBAN based on standard IEEE 802.15.6. These researches focused on physical layer, media access control (MAC) layer and network layer based on IEEE 802.15.6. Since network topology in the standard is defined as one hop star plus one, the previous research focused on one hop star topology and a multi...

IEEE 802.15.6-based Prototype System for WBAN: Design and Implementation

Various current trends such as ever growing population and accelerated aging effects have effectively promoted the growth of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). Being the specialized standard of WBAN, the burgeoning IEEE 802.15.6 is on its way to refinement and perfection. Since experiments are the foundation of research in WBAN that reproduce system operating patterns, yet existing platforms in...

Energy-efficient cluster-based security mechanism for intra-WBAN and inter-WBAN communications for healthcare applications

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are formed by using tiny health monitoring sensors on the human body in order to collect and communicate the human personal data. WBANs serve as a solution to facilitate the tasks performed in the medical sector, and minimize the chances of errors during the process of medical diagnosis. Due to the unreliable wireless media, the communication in a WBAN is exp...

Maximizing Throughput of Soil

Coordinator MPC with focus on maximizing throughput

In cases where disturbances of economic importance have a dynamic character and if they occur frequently compared to the controlled plant responses, dynamic optimization is more suitable than traditional RTO. However, in many cases the optimal operation is the same as maximum plant throughput. To realize maximum throughput, the bottleneck(s) must be identified and maximum flow at the bottleneck...
