wban network topology
Hi,
I also read several related papers and star topology do be used frequently as you said. Maybe, other kinds of network protocols are really unsuitable for BAN/BSN. Considering low energy consumption and portability, there is only one device (access point) in the BAN/BSN can communicate with the outside world. All of the sensors on body need to send data to the access point. Besides, usually, one sensor does not send data to other one. As a result, communication link is not needed between different end devices. Under this mode, other kinds of networks are unnecessary, such as ad hoc.
I am also interested in WBAN. We can discuss about it.
