Low Duty-Cycling MAC Protocol for Low Data-Rate Medical Wireless Body Area Networks

Low Duty-Cycling MAC Protocol for Low Data-Rate Medical Wireless Body Area Networks

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are severely energy constrained, and how to improve the energy efficiency so as to prolong the network lifetime as long as possible is one of the most important goals of WBAN research. Low data-rate WBANs are promising to cut down the energy consumption and extend...
