A method to increasing the Quality of Service (QoS) in Wireless body area networks by providing a MAC layer Protocol based of Internet of Things

Authors

Abstract

With the development of technology, the use of wireless telecommunication networks for the various affairs is essential. These networks are one of the safest and most widely used networks, for instance, in medical care and remote patient monitoring. What matters is the quality of service in these networks. The purpose of this paper is to increase packet transduction in a wireless body area network by assuming that the use of time-based access protocol (TDMA) method is effective in increasing the accuracy of packets and increasing the quality of network service. Therefore, by presenting a protocol in the link layer of the Internet of Things, some of the parameters of the quality of service were improved. Compared with other methods, the proposed protocol yielded better results in terms of latency, energy consumption and throughput. The proposed algorithm improvement was 23.67% in the packet delay, 27.12% in the energy consumption, and 10% in throughput.
