Traffic aware dynamic MAC protocol using fuzzy logic controller for Wireless body area networks

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) demand extreme low power and energy efficient protocols. Medium access control (MAC) layer plays a pivotal role for energy management in WBANs. Moreover, idle listening is the dominant energy waste in most of the MAC protocols. We have proposed an adaption of energy efficient dynamic MAC protocol using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for WBANs that is named as Fuzzy_TADMAC protocol. In this protocol depend on dynamic adaption of fuzzy wakeup acknowledgement based on traffic status register. We provide in this protocol to reduce the energy consumption in different states through two radio chips (i.e. BAN radio, CC2420 radio) so that result is optimized for energy consumption. This protocol is implemented in OMNET++ simulator through Castalia to set the simulation time 40 second, finally to compare Fuzzy_TADMAC with the existing protocol under two radio chips through different states.
