Abstract
IEEE 802.15.4 standard is widely used in wireless personal area networks (WPANs). This standard supports a limited number of guaranteed time slots (GTSs) for time-critical or delay-sensitive data transmission.We propose a GTS allocation scheme to improve reliability and bandwidth utilization in IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless body area sensor networks (WiBaSe-Nets). A knapsack problem is formulated to obtain optimal GTS allocation such that a minimum bandwidth requirement is satisfied for the sensor devices. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve better GTS utilization and higher packet delivery ratio than the standard IEEE 802.15.4 scheme does.
