Abstract:
The WBAN controller with Branched Bus (BB) topology and Continuous Data Transmission (CDT) protocol with low power consumption and self-reconfigurability is proposed for wearable healthcare applications. The BB topology and CDT protocol is a combination of conventional Bus and Star topology and a variation from TDMA protocol, respectively, while they are able to compensate for the electrical fault in bio-signal monitoring system caused by the electrode deformation. Thanks to them, the proposed WBAN controller enables more reliable operation in continuous bio-signal monitoring applications such as sleep monitoring.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
