Quantifying the throughput and latency contribution in secured IEEE 802.15.6 WBAN simulated transmission

| Summary: | Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) allows medical experts monitor patients remotely using sensors that obtain real-time data from the human body. Recently, IEEE released the 802.15.6 standard which specifies the WBAN's MAC layer and PHY layer, which aims to provide higher data rates, lower power consumption, include data security, and improve Quality of Service. This work investigates the latency and throughput of a WBAN following the specifications introduced by the IEEE 802.15.6 via simulation under secured transmission. Simulations show that security contributes about 0.15% to the latency. Furthermore, at -2dB SNR, the throughput starts to decrease below the specified requirement. © 2016 IEEE. |
