Abstract:

In present days, wireless sensor networks (WSN) have involved considerable attention of both academy and industry because of the varied range of contexts in which they could be used. The has wireless body area network (WBAN) become the most important standard for WSN, and several software and hardware platforms are built on it. The implementation and performance analysis of this standard is essential to understand the important limits of it. The simulation is one of the greatest valuable tools for protocol evaluation and prototyping design. Furthermore, network simulators play an important part to test new algorithms and other protocols built on this specification. In this paper, the performance of the WBAN MAC standard protocols has been tested. The performance of the protocols regarding power consumption, delay and packets congestion are compared using OMNet++ simulator.
