摘要: Body Area Networks (BANs) form a strongly growing research field, motivated by increasing need for remote and improved patient healthcare solutions driven the development of IEEE 802.15.6 standard. While most focuses on single hop star topologies, more studies point towards multi-hop topologies as preferable. Related with this topology however, comes cost supporting mobile nodes. Initial shows feasibility adapting protocols to support mobility. This work analyzes two requirements fulfill mobility support, specifically location independence increased clock drifting resiliency. Simulations show both motivate that should always be strived for, while drift resiliency is shown required in larger networks.
