Abstract

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is the cheapest solution using BioMedical Sensors. They monitor different physiological vital signs of a patient. The output of vital signs does not accept collision, delay, loss, and a high energy consumption of BMSs. This paper proposes Energy Efficient and Delay-Aware Adaptive Slots Allocation Medium Access Control (EED-MAC) Protocol for WBAN. This Proposed MAC provides sufficient and dedicated channels to all types of BMSs. The patient's data are divided according to the need of a patient. Moreover, the contentions of BMSs are reduced and does not drop data by proposing a Reduced Contention Adaptive Slots Allocation CSMA/CA (RCA-CSMA/CA) scheme. The third proposed scheme is Reliability-Aware Channel Allocation (RAC), which allocates channels for emergency-based BMSs using alert signals without contention. The simulation of the proposed MAC and other schemes achieve significant improvements against the state-of-the-art MAC protocols.
