A Proposal for Network Coding with the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the Medium Access Control sublayer of the IEEE 802.15.6 Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) standard, and propose minor modifications to the standard so that linear random network coding can be included to help improve energy efficiency and throughput of WBANs compatible with the standard. Both generation-based and sliding window approaches are possible, and a group-block acknowledgment scheme can be implemented by modifying block acknowledgment control type frames. Discussions on potential energy and throughput advantages of network coding are provided.

Evaluating the IEEE 802.15.6 2.4GHz WBAN Proposal on Medical Multi-Parameter Monitoring under WiFi/Bluetooth Interference
Wireless body area networks (WBAN) play a key role in the future of e-Health. In response, IEEE sets up working group 802.15.6 to standardize WBAN schemes. Of all existing standard proposals, the 2.4GHz proposal is the most mature and ready for mass production. However, as e-Health WBAN applications are often mission/life critical, people are concerned with the reliability (particularly, coexis...
متن کاملWireless Body Area Networks Medium Access Control ( MAC ) : IEEE 802
With recent advances in wireless networking, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) became practically feasible. Body Area Networks are defined by the IEEE 802.15.6 standard. However, IEEE 802.15.4 MAC can also be used for WBANs as it is cheap and simple. This paper presents a study about the standards IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6. In this paper, both IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6 are explain...
