Abstract
Nowadays interests in healthcare application of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have grown considerably and several studies have been done in this area. Healthcare Wireless Body Area Network is a very small sized network, which consists of several medical sensors and a coordinator implanted in or around the user´s body. As sensed data in such type of network are vital signs, it should be disseminated in a reliable and QoS based Way. This work presents a data dissemination algorithm adapted to the emerging nomenclature of IEEE 802.15.6.
