Title
Performance analysis of IEEE 802.15.6 under saturation condition and error-prone channel
Abstract
Due to lack of an appropriate wireless technology which satisfies all the requirements of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) the IEEE 802.15.6 Task Group introduced the IEEE 802.15.6 communication standard optimized for low power devices and operation on, in or around the human body. In this work we develop an analytical model for performance evaluation of an IEEE 802.15.6-based WBAN under saturation condition and error prone channel. We model the backoff procedure as specified in the standard employing a probabilistic approach. We validate results of the analytical model with a simulation model. Our results indicate that under saturation condition the medium is mostly utilized by the nodes with highest priority while other user priorities are starving.
