The performance of a quality of service (QoS) control scheme in a multi-hop wireless body area network (WBAN) based on the IEEE Std. 802.15.6 is evaluated. In medical Internet of Things systems, WBANs are an important technology. In a previous study, an optimal quality of service control scheme that employs a multiplexing layer for priority scheduling and a decomposable error control coding scheme for WBANs were proposed. However, the two-hop extension supported by IEEE Std.802.15.6 has not been considered. Here, the two-hop extension is applied. Then, the packet error ratio, number of transmissions, and energy efficiency of our previously proposed system are compared to a standard scheme under several conditions. Also, novel evaluations based on communication distance are conducted. Numerical results demonstrate that our proposed scheme, in which coding rates change relative to channel conditions, outperforms standard schemes in many aspects. In addition, those systems show the best performance when the communication distance of the first hop equals that of the second hop. In addition, the above result is theoretically clarified.

Wireless body area network is a type of wireless sensor network that enables efficient healthcare system. To minimize frequent sensor replacement due to resource restrictions, it is necessary to improve energy efficiency in wireless body area network. This article deals with energy efficiency and quality-of-service improvement together in novel wireless body area network architecture. A novel wireless body area network architecture is designed with dual sink nodes in order to minimize delay and energy consumption. A novel insistence-aware medium access control protocol which is aware of criticality of sensed data is presented in the proposed wireless body area network. Prior knowledge-based weighted routing algorithm is responsible to select optimal route for data transmission. In prior knowledge-based weighted routing, weight value is computed by considering significant metrics such as residual energy, link stability, distance, and delay in order to improve energy efficiency and quality of service in the network. Energy consumption is further minimized by incorporating graph-based sleep scheduling algorithm. In graph-based sleep scheduling, criticality of sensor node is also considered as major metric. In coordinator, split and map–based neural network classifier is involved to perform packet classification. After classification, packets are assigned to corresponding sink node according to packet type. Then, throughput and delay metrics are improved by frame aggregation process which is involved in sink node. Extensive simulation in OMNeT++ shows better performance in network lifetime, throughput, residual energy, dropped packets, and delay.

This chapter considers communication issues for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from both provider and customer perspectives. SME communication infrastructure at the individual site should usually be built around Ethernet-based local area network with a remotely manageable integrated access device that enables high speed Internet access, virtual private networking, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) functionality and collaborative services. We further address several open quality of service (QoS) issues that include: service level agreements, signaling for quality of service and management aspects. The proposed framework for service management encompasses interfaces for QoS-aware and legacy applications, generic service level specification, functional model of service negotiation and management policies.
