  • Title: A low-complexity medium access control framework for body sensor networks.
    Author: Wang B, Wang L, Huang BY, Wu D, Lin SJ, Gu J, Zhang YT, Chen W.
    Journal: Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc; 2009; 2009():2446-9. PubMed ID: 19964586.
    Abstract:
    This paper proposed a low-complexity medium access control (MAC) protocol tailored for body sensor networks (BSN) applications. The MAC protocol was designated to handle collision avoidance by reducing the numbers of the overhead packets for handshake control within the BSN. We also suggested a novel message recovery mechanism for getting back the lost physiological information. The adaptive synchronization scheme we have implemented exploited the features of multiple data-rate and adjustable precision design to support differentiated healthcare applications. The MAC protocol was fully implemented using our BSN development platform. The experimental results suggested the improved MAC design was compact and energy-efficient.
