This paper presents the implementation of Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol based on the IEEE 802.15.6 standard on a hardware platform developed for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications. The CSMA/CA allows each node to detect an ongoing transmission and consequently wait until the channel is idle. A testing campaign has been conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the protocol in terms of packet loss rate, average packet delay and network throughput.

Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol based on the IEEE 802.15.6 standard on a hardware platform developed for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications. The CSMA/CA allows each node to detect an ongoing transmission and consequently wait until the channel is idle. A testing campaign has been conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the protocol in terms of packet loss rate, average packet delay and network throughput.
