Mutual-Information-Based Incremental Relaying Communications for Wireless Biomedical Implant Systems

Network lifetime maximization of wireless biomedical implant systems is one of the major research challenges of wireless body area networks (WBANs). In this paper, a mutual information (MI)-based incremental relaying communication protocol is presented where several on-body relay nodes and one coord...
