Cooperative Body Channel Communications for Energy-Efficient Internet of Bodies

چکیده

The Internet of Bodies (IoB) is a network formed by wearable, implantable, ingestible, and injectable smart devices to collect physiological, behavioral, structural information from the human body. Thus, IoB technology can revolutionize quality life using these context-rich data in myriad smart-health applications. Radio frequency (RF) transceivers have been typically preferred due their availability maturity. However, for most RF standards (e.g., Bluetooth low energy), highly radiative omnidirectional propagation (even at lowest settings) reaches tens meters coverage, thereby reducing energy efficiency, causing interference co-existence issues, raising privacy security concerns. On other hand, body channel communication (BCC) confines low-power low-frequency (10 kHz–100 MHz) signals body, leading more secure efficient communications. Since efficiency one critical design parameters networks, this article focuses on energy-efficient orthogonal access (OBA) non-OBA (NOBA) schemes with without cooperation. To aim, three main BCC topologies are presented: 1) point-to-point channel; 2) medium 3) broadcast channel. These then used as building blocks create networks relying OBA NOBA downlink (DL) uplink (UL) traffic. For all traffic directions, optimal transmit power phase time allocations derived closed-form, which essential reduce consumption eliminating computational power. closed-form expressions further leveraged obtain maximum size function rate requirement, bandwidth, hardware parameters.

Energy-Efficient Strategy For Cooperative Multi-Channel MAC Protocols

Medium access control (MAC) protocols have been studied under different contexts for several years now. In all these MAC protocols, nodes make independent decisions on when to transmit a packet and when to back-off from transmission. In this paper, we introduce the notion of node cooperation into MAC protocols. Cooperation adds a new degree of freedom which has not been explored before. Our joi...
