  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new medium access control protocol referred to as DCTW (Dual Channel Transmission Scheme for wireless body area networks). Wireless body area networks (WBANs) requires prioritization mechanism for life-critical data to transmit the data as early as possible. The proposed DCTW exploits a narrow band for transmitting life-critical data while it uses a broadband channel to transmit normal data. Since the narrow band is dedicated to life-critical data, the DCTW can effectively reduce the delay of life-critical data transmission. Through extensive simulation, we show the DCTW outperforms other existing schemes.
