Modelling and analysis of energy efficient wireless body area networks

This work is motivated by the challenges and shortcomings of the design and evaluation of wireless body area networks. Wireless body area network (WBAN) is an interesting application of sensor networks which can revolutionize our interaction with the outside world. Appealing applications of WBAN has attracted both academic and industrial attention. However there are some challenges that need to be addressed before such applications can come true.
