Wireless-body-area-networks (WBAN) that generally comprises different types of sensors are useful to gather multiple parameters together, such as body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, heartbeat and blood sugar. However, a dense and mobile WBAN often suffers from interference, which causes serious problems, such as degrading throughput and wasting energy. So, the sensors in WBAN are not active together at the same time and they can be partitioned to different groups and each group works in turn to avoid interference. In this paper, we provide a Clique-Based WBAN Scheduling (CBWS) algorithm to cluster sensors of a single or multiple WBAN into different groups to avoid interference. Particularly, we propose a coloring based scheduling method to schedule all groups to work in a sequence of time slots. The experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed CBWS algorithm in terms of system throughput. © 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
