Performanance Analysis of Mac Protocols for WBAN on Varying Transmitted Output Power of Nodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common protocols for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) like TMAC, SMAC, ZigBee MAC, Baseline MAC protocols are analyzed in this work to evaluate the effect of various transmitted output power of nodes. When WBAN is used in patient monitoring, the analysis is required up to a great extent. In critical cases very high traffic load and accuracy of received packets is required while in normal patient health monitoring the traffic load is lower than that of critical case. This analysis is important in point of view of varying requirement of WBAN according to varying conditions. On varying the output power of nodes a considerable effect is observed on throughput and energy consumption for MAC protocols that is presented in the paper.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a networking concept that has evolved with the idea of monitoring vital physiological signals from low-power and miniaturized in-body or on-body sensors. In a WBAN, data collected from the sensor nodes are transferred to a remote node via a wireless medium, where the data is forwarded to a higher layer application to be interpreted. A WBAN system might requi...
