  Abstract

WBAN is short range wireless communication technology which is consists of several small devices close to, attached to or implanted into the human body. Sink 2006, the standardization of WBAN is being progressed by IEEE 802.15 TG16. WBAN is separated between medical and non-medical by applications based on technology. Medical is used to implanted devices and wearable devices. In this paper we changed superframe structure which is used IEEE 802.15.4 Standard so guarantee QoS. Coordinator finds out the number of GTS slots that devices request and change superframe structure. We evaluated delay bounds and utilization of proposed protocol by comparing with IEEE 802.15.4. In other words, we proposed adaptive protocol with WBAN by changing superframe structure and the experiment results show that, bandwidth utilization of proposed protocol is better than IEEE 802.15.4 in a similar environment.
