A CROSS-LAYER OPPORTUNISTIC MAC/ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR RELIABLE COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS BODY AREA NETWORKS

Recent innovations in sensor design and communication systems have enabled a new sub-category of wireless networks which is known as Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). WBAN is a network of wearable sensor nodes that sense physiological signals of a body. The development of protocols for WBAN is f...
