چکیده
In this paper, we integrate the IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks (WBAN) with the wireless USB (WUSB) system to develop wireless communication technologies for wireless wearable computer systems. Due to portable and wearable nature of the wearable computer systems, the WUSB over IEEE 802.15.6 hierarchical medium access control (MAC) protocol has to support the power saving operation and integrate WUSB transactions with WBAN traffic efficiently. In this paper, we propose a low-power hibernation technique (LHT) for WUSB over IEEE 802.15.6 hierarchical MAC to improve its energy efficiency.

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...
