  Abstract

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a network around a human body within 3∼5m which consists of medical or non-medical device. WBAN has to satisfy many kinds of demands such as low-power, a variety of data rate and a data priority. Especially, it is hard for the nodes for monitoring vital signs to replace battery. Thus energy and channel efficiency is important because the battery power is limited. In this thesis, a novel algorithm for reducing the energy consumption is proposed. The proposed algorithm adjusts transmission period according to traffic. by means of determining transmission period by amount of data, the node can reduce energy consumption. Energy detection is performed in order to guarantee data priority before attempting to transmit. In case of failing to transmit, it is proposed that energy consumption is reduced through avoiding collision by changing priority. The comparison result shows that the proposed algorithm reduces power consumption and increasing maximum channel efficiency by avoiding collision.
