    In wireless communication, it is of significance that the receiving information should be identical to the transmitted information. With this regards, an application of error correction coding (ECC) is one suitable method for maintaining the information precision between the transmission channels. With similar objectives, the diversity techniques are used to moderate the devaluation in the error performance due to the fading impairment by using multiple communication branches. This paper, we propose the application of concatenate codes combined with space diversity technique as maximal ratio combining. We focused on the bit error rate (BER) performance and the impact of Rician fading channel on wireless body area network (WBAN). The finding shows that the proposed scheme can provide considerable improvement on the BER performance compared with that of the traditional system. The concatenate code with MRC outperformed conventional ones, either RS or convolutional codes. At 10-4 of BER, the designed scheme is better than RS code by1.3 dB and convolutional code by2.2dB.

    This paper proposes the preliminary investigation of rate adaptive error correction coding applied to MAC layer of Body Area Network (WBAN). Health monitoring is a crucial part of proactive patient treatment. As a nature to WBAN communication, there appears severe noise level surrounding the human body. The transmission quality is deterred according to the present of noise. The issue can be improved by appending Error Correction Code (ECC) to the communication message. However, such an effort can cause the packet overhead, latency, and more energy consumption. To mitigate these disadvantages, the rate adaptive of ECC is proposed. The Reed-Solomon (RS) code designed in GF256 has been employed in this study. It fits well the maximum MAC length which is 255 bytes. In our investigation, several MIT-BIH Arrhythmia databases are chosen as input data to represent the patient monitoring condition. The Rician fading channel model is involved as its quite nature to WBAN characteristic. The codes performances are measured in Bit Error Rate (BER) and energy consumption unit.
