Abstract

There are two important factors for the nodes of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN): the lasting lifetime and the low loss of significant biometric data. Therefore, the stabilities of both the data queue and the energy queue are an important point on the WBAN nodes. In this paper, Minimum Distance Adaptive Allocation (MDAA) is proposed which is an adaptive queue management scheme to maintain the stabilities of both the data queue and the energy queue. MDAA adjusts the time ratio between energy harvesting and data transmission to minimize the Euclidean distance between the next state and the ideal state. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated and takes positive assessments rather than that of the control group.
