Cooperative communications for sleep monitoring in wireless body area networks
This paper investigates the performance of cooperative receive diversity, for the wireless body area network (WBAN) radio channel, compliant with the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard, in the case of monitoring a sleeping person. Extensive WBAN measurements near the 2.4 GHz ISM band were used. Up to 7 dB and 20% improvement for two-hop communications with the use of relays are empirically demonstrated wit...
متن کاملEnergy Efficient Cooperative Communications for Wireless Body Area Networks
It is expected that Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) will greatly improve the quality of our life because of its myriad applications for our human beings. However, one of the challenges is to design energy efficient communication protocols to support the reliable communication as well as to prolong the network lifetime. Cooperative communications have the advantage of spatial diversity to comb...
متن کاملCooperative Communications in Wireless Networks
Next-generation wireless networks will go beyond the point-to-point or point-to-multipoint paradigms of classical cellular networks. They will be based on complex interactions, where the involved nodes cooperate with one another in order to improve the performance of their own communication and that of the global network. Cooperative communications based on relaying nodes have emerged as a prom...
متن کاملIncremental Relay Based Cooperative Communication in Wireless Body Area Networks
Energy efficient and reliable communication is extremely crucial in most of the applications of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). Communication between sensor nodes is the major energy guzzler that limits the network lifetime and hence, disrupt WBAN’s operation. Moreover, unreliability in wireless communication caused by the channel impairments, such as shadowing and fading, further exacerba...
متن کاملRelay Node Selection Algorithm for Cooperative Communications in Wireless Networks
IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards support multiple transmission rates. Even though the use of multiple transmission rates increase the WLAN capacity, this feature leads to the performance anomaly problem. Cooperative communication was introduced to relieve the performance anomaly problem. Data packets are delivered to the destination much faster through a relay node with high rate than through direct ...
