A slot assignment for Wireless Body Area Networks

This study presents a dynamic slot assignment for tasks executed over Wireless Body Area Networks. We consider tasks which have timing constraints for their execution. and different priorities. They are usually repeated periodically. In this study we propose an algorithm which is able to provide a dynamic scheduling procedure for all tasks. In the actual version, the scheduling algorithm is executed over the network coordinator. This algorithm is implemented over TelosB nodes composing a Wireless Body Area Network.
