Reliable Transport Protocol Based on Loss-Recovery and Fairness for Wireless Body Area Networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The transport protocols for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) must provide end-to-end reliability and Quality of Service (QoS) for the whole network. This task can be accomplished through the reduction of the PLR (Packet Loss Ratio) and the latency while keeping fairness and low energy consumption between the nodes. The IEEE 802.15.6 Standard supports QoS, but it does not suggest any transport protocol for WBANs. This paper proposes a transport protocol for WBANs based on an energy-efficient and emergency-aware MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol and the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard. This new transport protocol is a cross-layer design that uses loss-recovery and fairness to provide reliability to the network. The protocol detects out-of-sequence packets and requests retransmission of the lost packets. It outperforms the MAC protocol and the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard in the percentage of the packet loss with and without emergency traffic, while keeping a similar energy consumption.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
