In the WBASN environment, many WBASNs coexist where communication ranges overlap with each other, resulting in the possibility of interference. Although nodes in a WBASN typically operate at a low power level, to avoid adversely affecting the human body, high transmission rates may be required to support some applications. In addition to this, since many varieties of applications exist in the WBASN environment, each prospective user may have different quality of service (QoS) requirements. Hence, the following issues should be considered in the WBASN environment: (1) interference between adjacent WBASNs, which influences the performance of a specific system, and (2) the degree of satisfaction on the QoS of each user, i.e., the required QoS such as user throughput should be considered to ensure that all users in the network are provided with a fair QoS satisfaction. Thus, in this paper, we propose a transmission power adjustment algorithm that addresses interference problems and guarantees QoS fairness between users. First, we use a new utility function to measure the degree of the satisfaction on the QoS for each user. Then, the transmission power of each sensor node is calculated using the Cucker\u2013Smale model, and the QoS satisfaction of each user is synchronized dispersively. The results of simulations show that the proposed algorithm performs better than existing algorithms, with respect to QoS fairness and energy efficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17102344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,16]],"date-time":"2017-10-16T15:11:09Z","timestamp":1508166669000},"page":"2344","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Bio-Inspired Distributed Transmission Power Control Considering QoS Fairness in Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Chan-Jae","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Chung-Ang University, 84 Heukseok-ro, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 06974, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3438-9301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji-Young","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Chung-Ang University, 84 Heukseok-ro, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 06974, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7372-5692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jung-Ryun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Chung-Ang University, 84 Heukseok-ro, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 06974, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1658","DOI":"10.1109\/SURV.2013.121313.00064","article-title":"Wireless body area networks: A survey","volume":"16","author":"Movassaghi","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
