The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an amalgamation of smart devices to operate the wireless body area network (WBAN) by using networking technologies. To reduce the burden on WBANs, they link to the mobile edge computing (MEC), on which captured medical data can be stored and analyzed. In this paper, we design a new control scheme to effectively share the limited computation and communication resources in the MEC-assisted WBAN (M-W) platform. Based on the bargaining game theory, our proposed scheme explores the mutual benefits of intra- and inter-WBAN interactions. To dynamically adapt the current system conditions, we shape each WBAN’s aspirations to reach a reciprocal consensus for different application services. Utilizing two control factors, we provide a unifying framework for the study of intra- and inter-WBAN bargaining problems to share the limited system resource. Based on the feasibility and real-time effectiveness, the main novelty of the proposed scheme is the ability to achieve a relevant tradeoff between efficiency and fairness through the interactive bargaining process. At last, the experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieves substantial performance improvements to the comparison schemes.

“…Coexistence state prediction methods based on machine leaning models for co-located WBANs have been proposed in [6,7], which facilitate detection and processing of the inter-WBAN interference in time. Moreover, a few inter-WBAN interference mitigation schemes were proposed in previous works [8,9,10], especially those based on resource allocation, e.g., time slot assignment methods, channel allocation approaches, and power control schemes. Specifically, time slot assignment methods that adopt graph coloring algorithms were proposed in [11,12,13,14], in which the available time slots were mapped to colors and the adjacent nodes were assigned slots of different colors to avoid interference.…”

According to the IEEE 802.15.6 standard, interference within each wireless body area network (WBAN) can be well addressed by the time division multiple access (TDMA)-based media access control (MAC) protocol. However, the inter-WBAN interference will be caused after multiple WBANs are gathered together. This paper proposes a priority-aware price-based power control (PPPC) scheme for mitigating the inter-WBAN interference. Specifically, to maximize the transmission data rate of sensors and control the aggregate interference suffered by coordinators, a Stackelberg game is established, in which the coordinators issue interference prices and the active sensors adjust their transmission power accordingly. On the other hand, since the information about the identities of the active sensors in a specific time slot is kept private, a Bayesian game is designed to model the interaction among sensors. Moreover, the timeliness and reliability of data transmission are guaranteed by designing the sensors’ priority factors and setting a priority-related active probability for each sensor. At last, a power control algorithm is designed to obtain optimal strategies of game players. Simulation results show that compared with other existing schemes, the proposed scheme achieves better fairness with a comparable network sum data rate and is more energy efficient.

SummaryA wireless body area network (WBAN) enables the continuous monitoring of health conditions including heart rate, temperature, and glucose levels. It is composed of several sensors that are placed on the body. The network's performance is significantly affected by the unpredictable movements of the human body. Due to the varying proximities between them, the existence of several WBANs creates a challenge when mobility is involved. In this fictitious scenario, we consider a park area with both mobile and static WBANs or WBAN‐equipped individuals passing through the park who have varying degrees of mobility. When a mobile WBAN passes a static WBAN and is within a minimum distance of the static WBAN, they pair up and immediately interfere. Inter‐interference caused by WBANs operating in a limited area causes packet loss and performance deterioration. In this work, static WBAN locations are optimised to minimise interference and system inter‐interference problems are addressed by a game theoretic method. This paper formulates a flexible game theoretic framework to study WBAN coexistence using the expected pay‐off function considering a two‐player game. It is observed from the results obtained that the probability of interference caused by fast mobile WBANs is reduced to a maximum of 50% compared with that caused by slow mobile WBANs thereby reducing the need for relocation of static WBANs.
