Easy to replace of charge batteries
Easy to communicate with other networks
Coordinator defines the start and end of a
superframe and is charge of the association

Conclusion
Average transmission time
with CSMA/CA
Three variables maintained by each node for each
transmission attempt (CSMA/CA):
NB: Number of back-offs permitted before
declaring channel access failure (0-5);
CW: contention window length, only used in
slotted CSMA/CA (Set to 2)
BE: back-off exponent, back-off periods in the
(0-5)
range 0 to 2BE  1
If BE is set to 0, CSMA/CA is switched off

Average Back-off
With a small number of sensors that are
effectively off most of the time, the probability of
a channel being free is greater than 99 %.
Therefore, for the relatively small number of
sensors used in the WBAN networks explored
here, it would be more economical to keep
the CSMA/CA switched off.
This is to ensure that the automatic initial
back-off is avoided.

15-year lifetime may only be obtained for
very low upload rates.
It is under very limited data rate conditions
and a tight tolerance crystal, which typically
must be better than 25 ppm.

The main drawback of using GTS is that the receiver
in the sensor remains on for the duration of the
timeslot regardless of the size of the data packet.

Conclusion
As a solution to the challenge of the body
area network, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard
would provide a limited answer in its nonbeacon form.
Sensors that do not have large amounts of
data to transfer could be used, i.e., small
packets of data several times per hour.
