Abstract
The energy efficiency of wireless ultra low power communication method is important to increase operating time of a medical device. In this paper, we propose a continuous frame transmission (CFT) method that reduces the energy consumption through the control of retransmission of frames using carrier sensing in interference condition. Simulation results show that CFT has higher efficiency compared to TDMA based methods.
