ABSTRACT
Though fat channel communication has advantages over earlier intra-body communication (IBC) technologies based on galvanic or capacitive coupling, the development of a protocol stack on top of fat channel communication is still at its infancy. In this paper, we consider Krentz's denial-of-sleep-resilient multi-channel medium access control (MAC) layer for IEEE 802.15.4 networks as a starting point for such a protocol stack. In brief, we conducted the following experiment with a phantom that mimics human tissues. Two devices exchanged IEEE 802.15.4 radio frames in a ping-pong manner on the phantom's fat tissue using Krentz's MAC layer. The data collected from this experiment lends itself to two purposes. First, it can serve to benchmark and tune algorithms for selecting radio channels. Second, it can also serve to benchmark and tune schemes for deriving cryptographic keys from received signal strength indicator (RSSI) readings.

AbstractCurrent Wi-Fi standards lack in terms of providing reliable multi-hop links for bandwidth-hungry applications. As a result, aerial networks which need reliable & high bandwidth multi-hop communication links, fail to maintain QoS ...
Multi-channel communication vs. adaptive routing for reliable communication in WSNs
IPSN '12: Proceedings of the 11th international conference on Information Processing in Sensor NetworksInterference and link dynamics constitute great concerns for stability and performance of protocols in WSNs. In this paper we evaluate the impact of channel hopping and adaptive routing on delay and reliability focusing on delay critical applications.
