Abstract:
The analysis of the impact of the number of sensor nodes, the transmission rate, buffer size, source types and the authorization packet in a Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) based on polling technique is carried out in this paper. A simulation platform is developed in Matlab, contemplating different models of sensor nodes with limited buffer and the polling mechanism to control the transmission to the centralized node. The used performance parameters are the packet loss and the packet waiting time in the queue. The obtained results show that the transmission rate has the greatest influence in the network. Additionally, the ideal configuration obtained uses fourteen sensor nodes with three buffer positions and mixed sources.
