Abstract

The collection of physiological signals such as electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, respiration, blood pressure, body accelerations etc. in a body area network is beneficial for revealing vital signs and investigating spontaneous physiological responses. However, the wire connection between the recording sites and the processing unit may disturb subject's daily activities. Up to now, several multi-users communication protocols such as IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, etc. have been proposed for this purpose. In this paper we employed the slotted ALOHA for multi-users wireless data transmissions. The slotted ALOHA is so simple that it can be implemented by a 2.4-GHz RF transceiver (nRF2401, Nordic) incorporated on a 16-bit microcontroller (MSP430, Texas Instruments) for the consideration of low-power consumption. In this paper we proposed a modified slotted ALOHA for multi-biosignals transmission and built its simulation model using SIMULINK 2.0 to simulate and evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
