  Abstract

Wireless body area network(WBAN) provide communication service in the vicinity of the body. Since WBANs utilize both MICS frequency band for implant medical applications and ISM frequency band for medical and consumer electronics(CE) applications. Therefore, MAC protocols in WBAN should be designed considering flexibility between medical and CE applications. In this paper, we identify the requirements of WBAN MAC protocols and propose a WBAN MAC protocol which satisfies the requirements. In other to provide transmission flexibility for various applications, we present the dynamic CFP allocation and opportunity period. Extensive simulation result show that the proposed protocol achieves improved throughput and latency in WBAN environment cimpared with IEEE 802.15.4.
