IEEE 802.15.6 standard wireless body area network communication

In this study, it is aimed to optimize Wireless Body Area Network communication protocol in IEEE 802.15.6 standard which is designed especially for medical devices by using various algorithms. Cable-equivalent reliability of WBAN communication protocol is tested with simulation works. BER performances of WBAN communication protocol and -former communication protocol which is designed for medical devices- ZigBEE communication protocol in IEEE 802.15.4 are compared. Code spreading algorithm's effects on BER performance for WBAN communication protocol is examined. After simulation work BER performance for WBAN communication protocol become better that ZigBEE and WBAN protocol with code spreading algorithm. Thus, cable-equivalent communication reliability status is reached with less SNR value.
