Abstract

The wireless body area network requires an optimized algorithm and protocols for the error-free communication for sports application. The communication process that takes between the hub and other nodes must be reliable and error-free without any collision. Time division multiple access is a technique in which synchronization between nodes takes place and less reliable when compared to the other multiple access techniques. This paper primarily focuses on the TDMA and Polling TDMA protocols that could be used for the communication between the nodes. Comparison of the performance metrics such as packet delivery ratio, an end to end delay, jitter and throughput gives the network reliability between the TDMA and Polling TDMA. Based on the study, various MAC techniques could be used and the latest, TDMA could be used for error-free communication, and then followed by the Polling TDMA. The Reliability of 90% was achieved using time division multiple access and was increased to 97% using Polling TDMA. This comparison can be used to propose new algorithms to find the kinematic movement of the human and also reduce the energy of the nodes.
