چکیده
Wireless body area network has become a prominent solution in mobile health. The leading use of wireless sensor networks and constant miniaturization of electric devices has empowered the progress of wireless body area networks. These devices provide continuous health monitoring and real time feedback to the user and medical personnel. The wide variety of sensors offers numerous new practical and innovative applications to improve healthcare system and the quality of life. Scavenging energy in human environment has been locating a new tremendous way to charge body nodes in human environment. In such networks the quality of service in terms of latency, throughput and packet loss is vital important. In this paper we will discuss various MAC protocols to utilize the channel bandwidth and system energy efficiently.
