Abstract: A network that is designed to sense the conditions of human body and pass the sensed information to base station is called wireless body area network. Due to such unique property of the network channel sensing and energy consumption are the major issues. In this research, channel sensing in wireless body area network is studied. The protocol called ELBPQA is proposed which assign priority to the data for the transmission. To improve performance of ELBPQA protocol, the clocks of sensor nodes are synchronized using time lay technique. The improve ELBPQA protocol and ELBPQA protocol, are compared in terms of throughput, packetloss and number of dead nodes. The performance of proposed protocol is high as compared to ELBPQA protocol.
