초록

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network)는 인체주변 2-3m 영역에서 의료 및 비의료 디바이스들로 구성된 다양한 환자 모니터링 분야를 지원하기 위한 무선센서네트워크이다. WBAN 환경을 위해서는 저전력 소비, QoS, 듀티사이클등의 요구사항을 만족하고 주파수 대역을 효율적으로 분배하며 트래픽 로드에 강하면서 에너지를 절약하는 MAC(Medium Access Control)이 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 트래픽 로드가 증가할 때를 고려해 에너지에 효율적인 AQ(Adaptive Queuing) MAC 슈퍼프레임 구조를 제안한다. 또한 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 AQ(Adaptive Quenuing)MAC를 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC과 비교 하였을 때 전송처리율, 평균MAC 지연율 측면에서 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) is a Wireless Sensor Network for supporting various applications around body within 2~3m which consists of medical and non-medical device. MAC in WBAN environment should satisfy requirements such as low power consumption, various transmission rate, QoS, and duty-cycle, efficiently distribute frequency band, be strong at traffic load and save energy. This paper proposes AQ(Adaptive Queuing) MAC superframe structure for efficient energy use, considering the increase of traffic load. The simulation result also show that transmission rate and average MAC delay rate is improved comparing IEEE 802.15.4 MAC with AQ MAC.
