Abstract
Recently, studies on medical and health monitoring systems using wireless communications have been actively conducted. In the field of health monitoring systems, wireless body area network (WBAN) is one of the key technologies and its standardization activities have also been extensively carried out. In previous work we proposed an optimal QoS control scheme employing a decomposable error control coding scheme. Furthermore, we extended the error correction capacity of our decomposable code and evaluated its bit error ratio and throughput performance in a multiple WBAN environment. In this paper, we evaluate the energy efficiency of the proposed scheme by computer simulations and compare it with energy efficiency of error control scheme defined in the IEEE Std. 802.15.6. Based on the results it can be stated that the proposed ECC method is more energy efficient especially in poor channel conditions.
