Advances in wireless sensor and internet technologies has rapidly increased the prevalence
of remote health monitoring using wireless body area networks (WBAN). However, it turns
out that WBAN pervasiveness draws attention to address the data transmission challenges.
Due to the limited bandwidth in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band, WBAN
performance degrades in parallel with the increasing number of active devices sharing the
same network infrastructure. As a result, during carrier sense the increasing device density …
