One of the potential applications of Wireless Sensor Network for improving the lifestyle of human beings is Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN). A dedicated health monitoring system is referred to as the Ubiquitous Health Monitoring (UHM) system consisting of the Internet of Things (IoT) based access points which are made available in a cloud-based server. So, ZigBee based IEEE 802.15.4 technology is extensively used in the implementation of Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layers. Hence, a comparison is provided in terms of the features of the modified IEEE 802.15.4e standard. An algorithmic approach for the MAC layer helped in regulated power consumption of the sensor node by controlling the transmission power for the packets. This is initiated in the algorithm by categorizing the packets as Delay sensitive and Delay insensitive. By regulating the channel access strategy using Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, the energy consumption of the transceiver reduces, thus improving the energy consumption of the communication system and lifetime of the sensor network. For better throughput using IEEE 802.15.4e, the performance of Deterministic and Synchronous Multi-channel Extension (DSME) is found to be trustworthy than Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH).
