Abstract

Low data rate, low duty cycle and low energy
consumption are vital characteristics of the low-rate wireless
personal area network. Simultaneously, the IEEE 802.15.6
standard is optimized for low cost, low power consumption, and
reliable communication in wireless body area networks (WBAN).
A comprehensive analysis of the two norms has been demonstrated
in this paper under identical simulations and prototyping
conditions under the MAC layer CSMA/CA-based scheme. An
extensive scope of simulation conducted using NS2 and Opnet
modeler to assess the throughput, delay, and energy depletion of
the two norms in WBAN. The results show that IEEE 802.15.6
outperforms average throughput, delay, and energy consumption
