摘要：In this paper, an IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks (WBAN) medium access control protocol is developed to support a wireless USB (WUSB) application as a protocol adaptation layer (PAL). Even though we can avoid colliding packets using CSMA/CA, hazard of beacon collisions still remains in the WUSB over WBAN networks. Further, in order to solve beacon conflict problem, we introduce a multi-channel beaconing (MCB) for avoidance of beacon collision. The proposed MCB can minimize the possibility of beacon collision by efficiently managing the multiple available channels in a hybrid manner combining proactive and reactive method
