FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to transceiver device for processing a medium access control (MAC) protocol used by a transceiver. The transceiver comprises a first antenna system for on-body communication and a second antenna system for off-body communication, the transceiver device being designed to reserve one or more data payloads for on-body communication and to allocate the first antenna system to the transceiver in the time interval occupied by said data payloads, and/or to reserve one or more data payloads for off-body communication and to allocate the second antenna system to the transceiver in the time interval occupied by said data payloads.
EFFECT: providing an optimally matched antenna system for on-body communication and off-body communication respectively, preventing collisions between data payloads on a radio channel, thereby increasing data throughput and, at the same time, reducing power consumption of the transceiver.
