Abstract(in English) In this paper,we propose a new MAC protocol in presence of multiple wireless BodyArea Network(BAN)s which can for reduce inter-WBAN interference and improve overallperformance of all BANs. A BAN system consists of a coordinator and some sensor nodes. Whencoverages of multiple BANs are overlapped, some packets transmitted form sensor nodes of differentBANs cause interference. Although an international standard for wireless medical BAN, i.e. IEEE802.15.6 can reduce intra-WBAN interference within a single BAN, inter-WBANinterference caused by coexistence of multiple BANs can not reduce effectively. Therefore, thispaper proposes such a new MAC protocols method that coordinators of overlapped BANs cannegotiate among coordinators of BANs. In addition, to enable priority control which is a featureof the standard, we propose a method that changes parameters of the proposed methodaccording to priority of packets. Throughput and delay time of the proposed scheme are illustratedby simulation, in which it is convinced that the proposed scheme can improve overall performancesuch as throughput and delay considering efficiency of priority control.
