Motion Sensing for Wireless Body Area Networks Based on Android Using Wi-Fi Direct Transmission

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) applications were developed with a wide variety of applications. Wireless body area network (WBAN) was one of the implementations of WSN. The implementation used a sensor that was attached to the body to monitor body motion. In this article, we present our research about motion sensing for wireless body area networks (WBAN) that used Wi-Fi direct transmission. This article proposed a motion-sensing for wireless body area networks (MOSBAN) with Wi-Fi direct transmission based on android to send the value of accelerometer and gyroscope from smartphone to smartphone. MOSBAN is expected can send the value of sensors accurately with Wi-Fi direct transmission. This article presented a comprehensive result of 50 meters distance from smartphone1 to smartphone 2. The validity of MOSBAN is proven by exacted 100% of data transmission using Wi-Fi Direct.
