The energy dissipation in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) systems is the biggest concern as it proportionally affects the system longevity. This energy dissipation in the WBAN system mainly takes place due to the signal interference from other networks causing reduction on the dimensionality. The data prediction in WBAN is also a considerable concern corresponding to misinterpretations and fa...

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a special purpose network of sensor nodes which can be inserted inside or out-side the body for monitoring health services. WBAN in medical field, where large number of patient’s conditions could be continuously monitored, alarms the person who wears sensors about auto medication during emergency condition. The security, handover, sensor node reconfiguration...

A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) consists of intelligent and small invasive and non-invasive devices which are capable of establishing a wireless communication link. These WBAN devices provide continuous health monitoring and real-time feedback to the medical personnel and user. Furthermore, the measurements can be recorded over a longer period of time, improving the quality health care serv...

Wireless Body Area Network(WBAN) is an emerging trend in ubiquitous society and very prolific for Human being, which consists of low power wireless biosensors, seamlessly placed on or implanted in human body in order to provide an adaptable and smart healthcare system. Positioning of a WBAN user in his/her critical condition is an important issue in WBAN. For this purpose we have canvassed diff...

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a wireless sensor technology used to connect small nodes with sensing abilities to collect necessary information. IEEE 802.15.4 is commonly adopted for WBAN because of its low duty cycle and low power operation. WBAN data is communicated in a superframe structure defined by IEEE 802.15.4 beacon enabled mode. Superframe structure predominantly based on beacon...

Merging WBAN systems with cloud computing is an efficient solution to overcome limitations inherent in WBAN, especially in critical human-related applications such as remote health monitoring. In cloud-based WBAN, the nodes are classified into WBAN sensors that report measurements about the human body and WBAN actuators that receive commands from the medical staff and perform actions. Authentic...

Optimized routing is a technique used in WBAN so that best route can be find when sensor nodes which are deployed over body can communicate with each other. Sensor nodes which are chips inserted within body, or nodes which are in the form of wearable shirts , or which are placed over body parts measure patient’s body’s different signals to check his/her fitness level, his/her organ’s functional...

Ubiquitous healthcare is a promising technology that has attracted significant attention in recent years; this has led to the realization of wireless body area networks (WBANs). For designing a robust WBAN system, the WBAN has to solve the drawbacks of wireless technology. Also, a WBAN has to support immediate, reliable data transmission for medical services during emergencies. Hence, this stud...

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has emerged as an advanced technology for e-healthcare where sensors are placed in, on, and around the human body to monitor various physiological signs. To design appropriate protocols in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), issues such as reliability, latency and energy consumption need to be considered. The MAC Layer is the most suitable layer to address these...

Low computational power of wireless sensors and the multicast form of transmission exhibited by WBAN make it susceptible to several security and privacy issues. Due to these, many security and privacy preservation approaches had been proposed to secure and preserve privacy of wearable WBAN systems. However, the inherent low computational power which characterises WBAN nodes made most of these a...
