Demonstrating on-demand listening and data forwarding in wireless body area networks
conference paper
Adaptation of the network architecture through ondemand data forwarding is an efficient mechanism to provide robustness against long outages in WBANs. We developed an experimental testbed that provides online observation of the network behavior for different data propagation approaches in WBANs. The demonstration shows how different approaches deal with special challenges in WBANs such as low quality of wireless
links, topology variations due to posture changes, and mobility. Moreover, sensor nodes can be configured online to investigate how different protocols react in various situations.
