Abstract

In WBAN, energy efficiency is a major concern. The sensor nodes attached to the human body are battery-powered devices with a finite lifespan. These sensor nodes assist in gathering biological data from the human body and transmitting it to a control device. In WBAN, the MAC protocol is critical in evaluating a protocol’s energy efficiency. Traditional MAC protocols aim to boost throughput and bandwidth efficiency. The most critical aspect is that they lack in energy conserving mechanism. By employing correct control techniques that aid in the efficient use of energy resources, the useful network life time can be extended. Several MAC protocols for WBAN have been devised to reduce energy consumption, and packet collision, idle listening, overhearing, and control packet overhead are the main causes of energy waste in wireless networks. Idle listening, packet overhead, overhearing, and collision rate are all addressed by the energy-saving technique. In WBAN, we introduced a novel energy-efficient MAC protocol called Scheduled Access MAC (SAMAC) to extend the network life time without sacrificing QoS. Using the Castalia simulator, we analyze and compare the performance of our proposed SAMAC to that of the BaselineMAC (IEEE 802.15.6) and ZigBeeMAC (IEEE 802.15.4) in terms of energy consumption, packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end delay. In terms of both energy conversion and WBAN Quality of Service, our simulation results suggest that our proposed SAMAC is more efficient than Baseline MAC and ZigBeeMAC.

INTRODUCTION

With the rapid development in the wireless technology, the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has a great impact in health care patient monitoring applications [1]. Server (PS) that acts as a gateway, to transfer the information to the level This level bridges the gap between the PS and the user via Access Points (APs) that are considered an important part of the network and may be positioned in a way that can allow for emergencies cases. Communication at this level strives to connect WBAN with other systems or networks so that information can be retrieved through mediums such as the internet. The research work identifies the features of IEEE 802.15.6 (Baseline MAC) that do not work well for the specific characteristics of WBAN and evolved a new
