This paper investigates the problem of link scheduling in a single-hop energy harvesting wireless body area network (EH-WBANs) where sensor devices's energy harvesting rates and data rates are spatially heterogeneous and temporally variant. To maximize the channel utilization with the lifetime operation, an adaptive TDMA-based protocol (AT-MAC) is proposed, which is suitable for communication in an...
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have become a leading solution in Mobile Health (mHealth). Typically, a WBAN consists of in-body or around-body sensor nodes for collecting data of physiological feature. For a WBAN to provide high throughput and low delay in an energy-efficient way, designing an efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is of paramount importance because the MAC layer coordinates...
In Energy-Harvesting Wireless Body Area Networks (EH-WBANs), how to realize a power management strategy to enable lifetime operation is one of the most concern problems. To solve this problem, a feasible solution should be used to manage the harvested energy in sensor nodes in an EH-WBAN. So far, there are extensive studies about this issue for EH-WBANs. Unfortunately, the significant character of...
