The impacts of dynamic and static resource allocation in a wireless body area network

Abstract

The sensors of wireless body area network (WBAN) capture the vital signs, monitor the patient's health state, process data and communicate with the healthcare service. Sometimes, the transmitted information is urgent, requiring a real time arrival, to request an immediate intervention. In this work, we propose a hybrid approach between dynamic and static resource allocation, to minimize the response time and maximize the number of patients served. The results of the comparison show that this approach is effective in terms of response time, but not in terms of decision.
