Abstract:
A personal area network (PAN) coordinator (26) of a medical body area network (MBAN) (36) allocates multi-periodic guaranteed time slots (GTSs) to sensor devices (12, 14) of the MBAN (36). The PAN coordinator (26) includes a controller (40) configured to receive a request for a multi-periodic GTS from a sensor device (12, 14) of the MBAN (36). The request includes a period indicating a periodicity with which the multi-periodic GTS is requested. In response to the request, the controller (40) determines a GTS allocation including a starting frame and transmits a descriptor to the sensor device (12, 14). The descriptor includes information to identify the starting frame.
