A wireless body area network (WBAN) allows the integration of low power, invasive or non-invasive miniaturized sensors around a human body. Each intelligent sensor has enough capability to analyze and process the physiological parameters and to forward all the information to a central intelligent node for disease management, diagnosis and prescription. The data transmission rate of various biosensors is heterogeneous. Furthermore, the limited energy resources and computational power of these sensors have urged the development of low power energy efficient medium access control (MAC) protocol. This paper studies the performance of Preamble-Based time division multiple access (PB-TDMA) protocol for a heterogeneous non-invasive WBAN. Simulation results show that the performance of PB-TDMA protocol outperforms S-MAC and IEEE 802.11 DCF in terms of throughput and power consumption.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is an exclusively designed Wireless Sensor Networks that used in today’s health-care system. The central challenge in WBAN is to transfer the medical data with limited energy and with high reliability. The IEEE 802.15.4 MAC Protocol is a standard model used to consume less energy by providing low data rate. This paper aimed to present a novel protocol PD-MAC, an enhanced version of IEEE 802.15.4 to achieve the above goal. The main objective of this protocol is to transmit the packets according to their priorities. It also improves the retransmission and packet drop process by introducing an additional slot to define Starvation Index in the super-frame of IEEE 802.15.4. A node has to start its transmission when the timer is set to zero. A node has to sense the channel status before transmission begins. The data are transmitted according to their priorities only when it senses the free channel. However if the channel is not free then retransmission of packet will be carried out and in each retransmission process the starvation index increments the priority of the packet. When the packet priority raises to high then it transmits the packet by considering it as high emergency packet. For energy efficiency a max limit is define to retransmit a data packet. This protocol has been simulated using Castalia 3.2 environment and the result validate that our proposed protocol provides better service in terms of least Packet Delay and lowest Energy Consumption to its counterparts.
