This paper proposes a novel adaptive internetwork interference mitigation scheme, namely AIM, for environments with multiple coexisting Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). The proposed scheme, operating on a nodes' traffic priority, packet length, signal strength and density of sensors in a WBAN, makes three major contributions as compared to the current literature. Firstly, it considers node-level...
In this paper, we propose a prediction algorithm for dynamic channel allocation amongst coexisting Wireless body area networks (WBANs). Variations in channel assignment due to mobility scenarios within each WBAN as well as the movement of WBANs towards each other is investigated. The proposed scheme is further optimized to allocate the optimum transmission time with synchronous and parallel transmissions...
A scheme for two-hop relay-assisted cooperative communications integrated with transmit power control, based on simple channel prediction, is presented. A large set of empirical on- and inter-body channel data is employed to model various scenarios of wireless body area network (WBAN) communications, from one isolated WBAN up to 10 closely located WBANs coexisting. Our study shows that relay assisted...
In this paper, a hybrid scheme incorporating graph coloring and cooperative scheduling schemes is proposed for interference mitigation amongst coexisting wireless body area networks (WBANs). The proposed approach pairs every two WBANs into a cluster and uses cooperative scheduling amongst the pairs in each cluster to minimize interference. A color based approach is used to allocate different colors...
In this paper, a cooperative two-hop communication scheme, together with opportunistic relaying (OR), is applied within a mobile wireless body area network (WBAN). Its effectiveness in interference mitigation is investigated in a scenario where there are multiple closely-located networks. Due to a typical WBAN's nature, no coordination is used among different WBANs. A suitable time-division-multiple-access...
In this paper, coexistence of multiple mobile wireless body area networks (WBANs), where there is no coordination between WBANs, is investigated for the case where the WBAN-of-interest employs cooperative communications. A decode-and-forward protocol with two dual-hop links, two relays and selection combining (SC) at the hub (or gateway device) is chosen for the WBAN-of-interest. A suitable time-division-multiple-access...
