The proliferation of ubiquitous sensing devices along with advances in low power wireless communication technology have resulted in the extensive use of wireless body area networks (WBANs) as the building blocks of the emerging field of wireless health. In these battery-operated WBANs, the sensor devices are strategically placed in/on the human body and the short/mid/long wireless communications are conducted on/off the surface of the body. As the battery energy does not follow Moore's law, energy-efficiency is always one of the design challenges of wireless health-monitoring systems, impacting usability, security, and cost. The idea of transmission power control (TPC) is to automatically reduce the radio amplifier's output power when the transmission power is more than required. Reduced transmission power translates into more energy savings and reduced interference problems. TPC techniques have been used in abundance in cellular networks and wireless LANs. TPC schemes for WBANs, however, are still in their infancy. For example, current IEEE 802.15.4 specifications do not differentiate between mobile and static settings, thus leaving WBAN transmitters in the dark as to what transmission power level they should utilize. In this dissertation, we have investigated the potential benefits and limitations of TPC as a means to extend the battery lifetime in WBANs at the first three abstraction levels. Physical and MAC layers' approach to TPC perform a local optimization, whereas network layer TPC is capable of a global optimization. At the network layer, we analytically solve an optimization problem whose solution determines an important parameter, i.e., energy-efficient cluster size, for a class of routing/MAC protocols in WBANs. Assuming that the routes are established in an energy-efficient manner, we then experimentally profile the 2.4 GHz on/off-body radio channel under several scenarios regarding mobility states and environments, and we showed that fixed transmission power either wastes energy or hinders reliability. Finally, we devote our attention to an ambulatory medical monitoring WBAN system, which is tied up with different characteristics in terms of mobility, periodicity, and `unforgivingness' of the wireless channel as a result of proximity to the ground as well as to human's body. The target ambulatory WBAN system encompasses a pair of wireless instrumented insoles (known as smart insoles) for gait data collection, plantar pressure monitoring, and gait analysis. We design a sensor-assisted TPC scheme that augments in-network information with information from built-in sensors. To this end, multiple mobility states are defined for the smart insoles and the mobility states are incorporated into transmission power control policies. Available sensor information is leveraged to detect the mobility states, based on which the TPC scheme switches strategies. We validate this new idea of switching transmission power control strategies by implementing and evaluating the sensor-assisted scheme and comparing it against a frame-based TPC scheme, which adjusts the transmit power solely based on recent information about packet transmission successes and failures. Our testbed experiments involving mixed mobility scenarios show that our TPC scheme obtains up to 50% increase in the battery lifetime, enabling the smart insoles to be used in uncontrolled environments. Such an improvement in battery longevity (from 4.0 hours to 7.8 hours) is made by reducing the average energy consumed for communication of a single packet from 4.51 mJ/pkt to 2.27 mJ/pkt. Although designed for the smart insoles as a severely energy-constrained device, the sensor-assisted TPC technique is readily deployable on a variety of today's commodity devices to make a connection between the sensing subsystem and the communication subsystem of such devices. In addition, as the underlying mobility state detection methods place relaxed requirements on how the device should be worn in terms of orientation and position, they can be used for a variety of purposes, such as improving the patient's compliance with medical treatments and therapies.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of tens or hundreds of small, inexpensive computers equipped with sensors and wireless communication capabilities. Because WSNs can be deployed without fixed infrastructure, they promise to enable sensing applications in environments where installing such infrastructure is not feasible. However, the lack of fixed infrastructure also presents a key challenge for application developers: sensor nodes must often operate for months or years at a time from fixed or limited energy sources. The focus of this dissertation is on reusable power management techniques designed to facilitate sensor network developers in achieving their systems' required lifetimes. Broadly speaking, power management techniques fall into two categories. Many power management protocols developed within the WSN community target specific hardware subsystems in isolation, such as sensor or radio hardware. The first part of this dissertation describes the Adaptive and Robust Topology control protocol (ART), a representative hardware-specific technique for conserving energy used by packet transmissions. In addition to these single-subsystem approaches, many applications can benefit greatly from holistic power management techniques that jointly consider the sensing, computation, and communication costs of potential application configurations. The second part of this dissertation extends this holistic power management approach to two families of structural health monitoring applications. By applying a partially-decentralized architecture, the cost of collecting vibration data for analysis at a centralized base station is greatly reduced. Finally, the last part of this dissertation discusses work toward a system for clinical early warning and intervention. The feasibility of this approach is demonstrated through preliminary study of an early warning component based on historical clinical data. An ongoing clinical trial of a real-time monitoring component also provides important guidelines for future clinical deployments based on WSNs.

Wireless health and fitness devices as well as traditional medical devices such as cardiac and neurological implants, skin patch sensors, and automatic drug delivery pumps extend and improve life by providing therapy, monitoring, and diagnostics. They ensure health and safety while promoting prevention and wellness. These devices are found in chronic and acute settings that range from emergency and critical care to personalized health and telemedicine; they accelerate medical research and support data-driven medicine. The push towards the ubiquity of ever smaller devices with more functionality compels power-centric strategies in every aspect of design. Long-term implantables such as neural implants for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and epilepsy traditionally rely on primary cell batteries, which occupy a large portion of the implant volume and when exhausted require a new surgery for replacement. The motivation of the thesis is to reduce the size (weight and volume) and increase the lifetime of neural implants through the use of a smaller rechargeable battery. The two strategies chosen in this thesis are: 1) using a new spread-spectrum wireless power transfer to recharge and ultimately, eliminate the battery through direct powering; 2) reducing power consumption through the use of closed-loop decision and parameterization of electrical stimulation using feedback from neural sensing. The first part of this thesis is the development of spread-spectrum wireless power transfer to deliver power over many frequencies over a uniform single-sided magnetic field, which enables better design of systems with various physical dimensions, lower tissue loss, and less sensitivity to component tolerances, while remaining within the regulatory limits for electromagnetic interference. The investigation encompasses the design of a spread-spectrum transmitter and modulation method that resolves the ostensible paradox of "resonant, yet spread-spectrum", a passive power receiver, and power transfer using a uniform single-sided magnetic field. The second part of this thesis involves the design of a system to amplify and extract the spectral power of neural electrical signals from the brain. From the spectral power, "biomarkers" are extracted to titrate deep brain electrical stimulation to improve therapy and better utilize this functionality that dominates the implant power consumption.

For opportunistic spectrum access and spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks, one key problem is how to develop wireless access schemes for secondary users so that harmful interference to primary users can be avoided and quality-of-service (QoS) of secondary users can be guaranteed. In this research, dynamic wireless access protocols for secondary users are designed and optimized for both infrastructure-based and ad-hoc wireless networks. Under the infrastructure-based model, the secondary users are connected through a controller (i.e., an access point). In particular, the problem of wireless access for eHealth applications is considered. In a single service cell, an innovative wireless access scheme, called electromagnetic interference (EMI)-aware prioritized wireless access, is proposed to address the issues of EMI to the medical devices and QoS differentiation for different eHealth applications. Afterwards, the resource management problem for multiple service cells, specifically, in multiple spatial reuse time-division multiple access (STDMA) networks is addressed. The problem is formulated as a dual objective optimization problem that maximizes the spectrum utilization of secondary users and minimizes their power consumption subject to the EMI constraints for active and passive medical devices and minimum throughput guarantee for secondary users. Joint scheduling and power control algorithms based on greedy approaches are proposed to solve the problem with much less computational complexity. In an ad-hoc wireless network, the robust transmission scheduling and power control problem for collision-free spectrum sharing between secondary and primary users in STDMA wireless networks is investigated. Traditionally, the problem only considers the average link gains; therefore, QoS violation can occur due to improper power allocation with respect to instantaneous channel gain realization. To overcome this problem, a robust power control problem is formulated. A column generation based algorithm is proposed to solve the problem by considering only the potential subset of variables when solving the problem. To increase the scalability, a novel distributed two-stage algorithm based on the distributed column generation method is then proposed to obtain the near-optimal solution of the robust transmission schedules for vertical spectrum sharing in an ad-hoc wireless network.
