“…A WBAN is a collection of miniaturized wireless nodes with sensors, which supervise the human body functions and its environment. Moreover, WBANs meet many needs for the market in a variety of innovating and interesting applications such as the military applications, Healthcare (Choi, Kang, & Choi, 2008;Li, Takizawa, & Kohno, 2008;Li, Takashi, Toyoda, Mori, & Kohno, 2009;Tapia, Ajith, Corchado, & Alonso, 2010) safety, the entertainment and the urgency (Jobs et al, 2009). Consequently, the IEEE has chartered a new sub-working group (TG6) under the 802.15 umbrella that is going to actively working on standardization of IEEE802.15.6 (IEEE Computer Society, 2010).…”

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) applications have emerged as one of the most recent research areas of wireless sensor networks. Lots of research is improving QoS factors in sensor networks. However, QoS requirements vary from application to application, WBAN applications are very sensitive, and QoS issues in WBAN need major concern and focus. This paper outlines the WBANs QoS requirements and factors and reviews with emphasis on their strengths some medium access mechanisms that response to some QoS challenges. Moreover, the authors have defined and specified a QWBAN MAC protocol that can allow the integration of QoS architecture over WBAN. A set of QoS modules such as admission control (CAC), bandwidth allocation and scheduling are discussed. Besides that, an integrated QoS architecture is suggested for WBAN to support healthcare applications.

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) is an emerging technology which consists of a network composed by miniaturized and intelligent sensor nodes in order to monitor a variety of applications. Due to the lack of overall, wireless technology, the special challenges of WBANs, the IEEE 802.15.6 was proposed to solve these issues in this emerging area and to satisfy the requirements for a monitoring system. In this work, we develop an analytical model for evaluating the performance of this standard under saturation condition and noisy channel. The results show a decreasing of the gap between user priorities using our proposed model.
