As body sensor networks (BSNs) advance to fulfill the promise of continuous, non-intrusive, remote monitoring of patients, it is important that we achieve efficient communication between energy constrained on-body sensors. An important design choice which has significant impact on achieving this goal is the network architecture. Star architecture has been the natural choice for BSNs due to the short...
Inter-user interference is the interference in communication when several body sensor networks (BSNs) operate in the same vicinity. As BSN users congregate in an area, interference due to concurrently communicating BSNs will increase, resulting in poor performance. In this paper, we conduct a preliminary investigation of the impact of inter-user interference and investigate its behavior with respect...
The fast growing elderly population has rendered a need for cheaper and better healthcare. Answering this call are advances in information technology and medical sciences. At the information technology end, wireless body area networks (WBAN) are being developed to support continuous and ubiquitous monitoring of patients. In our previous work, we identified the importance of the environment in the...
