SMART Incubator: Implementation of Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband Based PA-MAC Architecture in Wireless Body Area Network

Abstract

Ultra Wideband has a long list of qualities, whichmake it an emerging transmission technology for the wirelesssensor network. In our previous work, it was used insimulation labs under Pilot Signal Assisted MAC algorithmwith prominent results. After the successful implementationunder simulation platform, it was decided to test itseffectiveness on real (hardware based) test bed so its actualperformance could be based line. In this paper, we haveevaluated framework's performance on the real test bed undera project "SMART Incubator". For the better performancejudgment, the results were compared with the simulationresults. The outcomes of practical implementation prove thatimpulse radio based PA-MAC framework is an effective andadaptable solution for wireless sensor network.
