A Secure Key Management Technique for Wireless Body Area Networks
In Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN), the key factors to be considered for transmission of confidential data are security and privacy as it is mostly having applications in emergency medical response systems. The lack of security may lead to loss of data privacy resulting in an adversary to bring in bogus data or altering the legal ones. Hence in this study, a secure key management technique f...
متن کاملEnergy Efficient Cooperative Communications for Wireless Body Area Networks
It is expected that Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) will greatly improve the quality of our life because of its myriad applications for our human beings. However, one of the challenges is to design energy efficient communication protocols to support the reliable communication as well as to prolong the network lifetime. Cooperative communications have the advantage of spatial diversity to comb...
متن کاملCross-Layer Cooperative Beamforming for Wireless Networks
Cooperative beamforming (CB) is a signal transmission technique that enables long-range communications in an energy efficient manner. CB relies on cooperation from a set of distributed network nodes, each carrying a single transmit antenna and acting as elements of a virtual antenna array. By appropriately weighting their transmissions, the cooperating nodes form one or more beams to cooperativ...
متن کاملNFMIC Cooperative Communication Methods for Body Area Networks
To achieve higher data rate or to extend the coverage range of a wireless communication system, cooperative relay has been seen as a promising solution. This concept has been integrated in many traditional wireless communication networks. However, it has not been extensively examined for near field magnetic induction communication (NFMIC) systems. This paper aims to apply cooperative relay to N...
متن کاملCooperative communications for sleep monitoring in wireless body area networks
This paper investigates the performance of cooperative receive diversity, for the wireless body area network (WBAN) radio channel, compliant with the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard, in the case of monitoring a sleeping person. Extensive WBAN measurements near the 2.4 GHz ISM band were used. Up to 7 dB and 20% improvement for two-hop communications with the use of relays are empirically demonstrated wit...
