Abstract(in English) Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) using the millimeter-wave (mmW) band (60-GHz band) is expected to be one of the methods to solve the interference problem between WBANs. In mmW WBAN, the number of users who receive interference varies due to the linearity and attenuation characteristics of mmW. Thus, the fairness of communication opportunities is degraded. In this paper, we propose a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) based fairness communication opportunity method that uses the contention window (CW) controlled by using busy-time length before intra-WBAN communication. First, inter-WBAN interference in the case of microwaves or millimeter waves was investigated. This investigation showed the unfairness of communication opportunities in the case of mmW is larger than that of microwave. Next, we evaluated the proposed inter-WBAN interference avoidance method. As a result of evaluation of the communication time rate and fairness index by computer simulation, it is shown that the fairness of WBAN communication can be significantly improved with minimized degradation of the communication time rate.
