Reliable Data Transmission Mechanism in Coexisting IEEE 802.15.4 Beacon Enabled Wireless Body Area Networks

Since WBAN has limited bandwidth, its performance in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band degrades as the number of active devices sharing the same spectrum increases. The increasing device density challenges device and packet synchronization mechanism that raise collision probabilities during carrier sense. In this view, access to the transmission channel for health care application...
