WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) is a Wireless Sensor Network for supporting various applications around body within 2~3m which consists of medical and non-medical device. MAC in WBAN environment should satisfy requirements such as low power consumption, various transmission rate, QoS, and duty-cycle, efficiently distribute frequency band, be strong at traffic load and save energy. This paper proposes AQ(Adaptive Queuing) MAC superframe structure for efficient energy use, considering the increase of traffic load. The simulation result also show that transmission rate and average MAC delay rate is improved comparing IEEE 802.15.4 MAC with AQ MAC.

In this paper, we perform analysis of the performance of low-power communication technology, IEEE 802.15.4 MAC (Media Access Control) protocol used in internet of things. Wide variety of devices in internet of things generate different kinds of traffic characteristics and heterogeneous traffic environment is therefore considered in contrast to existing works. With the help of the Markov chain the performance of the protocol is derived as a function of the MAC parameters and based on the results a framework to determine energy-efficient optimal MAC parameters for applications in real time is proposed. Proposed method is shown to be more efficient in terms of energy consumption through performance comparison over application scenarios compared to operation with fixing MAC parameters, and its practicability on small devices with limited computing power is verified through evaluating the accuracy and speed of the proposed framework.

In this paper, The correlation of the power consumption of sensor node is analyzed according to the analyze parameter in IEEE 802.15.4 star sensor network. And It is studied the influence on analysis parameter. The power consumption of sensor network in transmission process and average transmission power consumption drives to numerical formula. And CSEM WiseNET system measurement value is used. As a simulation result, The power consumption of sensor node in star network consist of 10 sensor nodes is more than 20 % that in single network in average. When beacon signal interval is 0.1 second in all frequency bands, the power consumption of sensor node in up-link is more than 2.5 times that in down-link in average. When beacon signal interval is 1 second and the number of sensor nodes increases to 100 and sensing data increases to 100 byte, the power consumption of sensor node increases to 2.3 times. And The superior performance of 2.4 GHz frequency band has than 868/915 MHz frequency band up to $6{\sim}12$ times.

This paper presents new coherent and non-coherent detection methods for the IEEE 802.15.4a low-rate ultra-wideband physical layer with forward error correction (FEC) coding techniques. The coherent detection method involving channel estimation is based on the correlation characteristics of the preamble signal. A coherent receiver uses novel iterated selective-rake (IT-SRAKE) to detect 2-bit data in a non-line-of-sight channel. The non-coherent detection method that does not involve channel estimation employs a 2-bit data detection scheme using modified transmitted reference pulse cluster (M-TRPC) methods. To compare the two schemes, we have designed an IT-SRAKE receiver and a MTRPC receiver using an IEEE 802.15.4a physical layer. Simulation results show the performance of IT-SRAKE is better than that of the M-TRPC by 3-9 dB.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a graphical record of the voltages generated during the heart beats, and is very useful in observing the status of the heart of the human or animals. In this paper, an ECG monitoring system is developed for the small animals, such as the rat. This system is very useful in monitoring the side effect of drugs. Since small animals have faster heart rate than the human case, the monitoring system has a faster sampling frequency and processing speed. Furthermore, for a realtime monitoring of the small moving animals, the system is composed of a small wireless ECG module, which is based on the IEEE 802.121.4 wireless physical layer. The developed wireless ECG system can successfully monitor the ECG of small animals, such as the rat.

This paper proposes a distributed borrowing addressing (DIBA) scheme to solve problems of failure in address assignments resulting from limited tree depth and width when the distributed address assignment mechanism is used in a ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 wireless sensor network. DIBA is a method of borrowing addresses from neighbor nodes for newly entering nodes and assigning the borrowed addresses. Its network or sensing coverage can increase with almost the same overhead as the existing method. DIBA is a simple and lightweight means of addressing and routing, making it suitable for wireless sensor networks. Simulations showed that DIBA is a distributed addressing scheme with consistently excellent performance.
