WIRELESS BODY AREA NETWORK CONNECTING IMPLATED DEVICES USING TRAFFIC ADAPTED POWER SAVING

摘要

The invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving data packets between a master device (31) and at least one slave device (32, 33, 34, 35) using a synchronized data communication protocol. In the method, a time period to be used between consecutive packets to be transmitted to the master device(31) is defined,on the basis of the calculated number of data packets received by the master device (31) in a predetermined time period. The invention further relates to a wireless data communication system, a master device(31), and a slave device(32, 33, 34, 35), comprising wireless data communication means (22) for transmitting and receiving data packets between the devices (31,32, 33, 34, 35) using a synchronized data communication protocol. In the protocol, the time period to be used between consecutive packets to be transmitted is defined on the basis of the calculated number of data packets received by the master device (31) in a predetermined time period.
