Abstract

Wireless body area networks are operated within 3m around a human body. The 400 MHz frequency band for the medical implanted communication (MICS) has already been used for other service and consists of 10 channels with 300 kHz bandwidth each. Although wireless BANs consider interference mitigation techniques (LBT and AFA), they are not able to guarantee a reliable transmission. In this paper, we suggest a new reservation mechanism for multi-channel management in wireless BANs. Our mechanism achieves performance enhancements and coexistence with conventional techniques. Simulation results also show that can be achieved efficient channel utilization.
