摘要

WBA networks support various medical applications consisting of heterogeneous requirements. For reliable data transfer, an effective media access control protocol must be used. Here in this project, a dynamic MAC protocol based on Super frame structure is proposed by extending the standard principles from IEEE 802.15.6 which is a standard protocol, a mechanism for allocating reserved slots with prioritization is used which is known to be Importance criteria Through Inter-criteria Correlation, to assign a slot allocation for each sensor device. The sensor device values are calculated based on various sensor parameters using the CRITIC method. Here, we compare our proposed work with the IEEE 802.15.6 MAC standard and other MAC protocols. The simulation shows that our proposed MAC protocol performed better in reliability, throughput, energy efficiency as well as packet delivery delay. The results show that data transmission reliability is increased by more than 60% compared to the IEEE 802.15.6 MAC standard.
