Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are single-hop network systems, where sensors
gather the body's vital signs and send them directly to master nodes (MNs). The sensors are …

The main differences between wireless body area network (WBAN) and wireless sensor
network are the sensors in WBAN distributed on the human body; therefore, body posture …

In recent days, intelligent biomedical sensors and wearable devices are changing the
healthcare industry by providing various heterogeneous vital signs of patients to the …

The IEEE 802.15. 6 standard has the potential to provide cost-effective and unobtrusive
medical services to individuals with chronic health conditions. It is a low-power standard …

This work presents the design of IEEE 802.15. 4, the Medium Access Control protocol to
ensure that medical data must be delivered in time, along with satisfying QoS requirements …

Health monitoring systems are one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, as the
world's older population grows dramatically at an unprecedented rate. These systems …

This paper proposes an optimised Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol to minimise the
number of channel access collisions and to improve the bandwidth efficiency of IoT-based …

Quantile function or inverse cumulative distribution function (CDF) is heavily utilized in
modelling, simulation, reliability analysis and random number generation. The use is often …

As an important coexistence technology, channel hopping can reduce the interference
among Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). However, it simultaneously brings some …

The false blocking problem is induced by the traditional IEEE 802.11 Request-To-
Send/Clear-To-Send (RTS/CTS) handshaking in wireless ad hoc networks such as the …
