“…Contudo, por não considerar as condic ¸ões do canal ao realizar o escalonamento das transmissões, pode aumentar a taxa de perdas de mensagens por efeito das interferências. Em [18] é proposto um protocolo baseado no IEEE 802.15.6 que, além de lidar com o tráfego periódico e de emergência, adiciona um tratamento para o tráfego dinâmico. Ao identificar uma variac ¸ão do tráfego das mensagens (i.e.…”

Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer solutions based on Adaptive Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) have been proposed to satisfy temporal constraints and improve the reliability and efficiency of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) subject to unexpected communication conditions, such as dynamic message traffic and communication interferences. However, many of these solutions do not efficiently use communication channels, allocating time slots to devices that do not have data to transmit. It can be a problem because wasting time slots reduce the ability of the WBAN to recover from message loss under unexpected communication conditions. This paper introduces the THeTA, an adaptive TDMA policy for WBANs that meet time constraints and enhance the reliability and efficiency of WBANs under unexpected communication conditions, observing a better usage of the communication channels. To improve message delivery and not compromise temporal constraints, our approach allocates unused time slots from devices with low bandwidth demands to devices with high transmission demands. Compared to IEEE 802.15.4, IEEE 802.15.6, and other adaptive approaches, it was observed that the proposed approach has higher reliability, reducing message loss and maintaining low power consumption and low latency in the evaluated scenarios.

“…The distinctive factor between CSMA/CA and CSMA/CD lies in their approaches for handling a congested communication channel. To assist the acquisition of a new contended allocation, IEEE 802.15.6 employs a Back-off Counter (BC) and a Contention Window (CW) [8]. To execute the CSMA/CA method, a node with a new packet to broadcast must keep a CW open to detect a new contended allocation.…”

The WBAN requires a MAC protocol that complies with the specific requirements and specifications of the body area network communication. Typically, this technology is implemented using the IEEE 802.15.6 standard, which employs the CSMA/CA mechanism. The WBAN confronts the challenge of managing the probability of heavy traffic due to the substantial medical data generated by numerous biomedical sensors. This scenario could lead to network congestion, increasing delay and packet losses, thereby posing a risk of network instability. Hence, selecting appropriate parameters is crucial for developing a MAC protocol to reduce delay and packet losses while enhancing the network throughput. This paper evaluates the performance of the IEEE 802.15.6 MAC protocol by modifying parameters such as packet rate, simulation duration, and the number of sender nodes. The IEEE 802.15.6 MAC protocol implementations are assessed regarding delay, throughput, and packet loss using the Castalia-3.3 framework based on the OMNeT++ 4.6 platform. The outcome of this study indicates that the MAC protocol for WBAN applications can be optimized by configuring the parameters correctly.

“…They don't take into account the priority transmission of data packets generated by different events in the network. Negra et al [20] propose a Medical Traffic Management MAC Protocol (MTM-MAC) based on the different traffic types and data criticality in medical applications. It sets different superframe structures for various priority traffic in IEEE 802.15.6, and adopts different transmission strategies according to different superframe structures.…”

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been widely used with its main characteristics of resilience, scalability, and mobility. However, the node battery capacity in WSN is limited. In addition, in scenes with emergencies such as forest ecological monitoring, data packets of wildfire emergencies have higher real‐time requirements than periodic normal data. Therefore, this paper proposes an energy‐efficient MAC protocol based on Receiver initiation and Multi‐Priority Backoff (RMP‐MAC). RMP‐MAC adopts the wake‐up matching mechanism initiated by the receiver. The sender adjusts its schedule according to the wake‐up information of the receiver to match the receiver, which reduces the energy consumption of idle listening. In addition, RMP‐MAC proposes a multi‐priority factor adaptive backoff mechanism based on event priority, node remaining energy level, and the number of data packets waiting in the transmission queue, ensuring the transmission of emergency data in the actual situation of forest ecological monitoring. Simulation experiments show that compared with PB‐MAC, AP‐MAC, and MPQ‐MAC, RMP‐MAC can reduce energy consumption by 20.22%, 12.47%, and 6.62% respectively. In addition, it has improved in the average collisions, network throughput, and average delay of packets.
