Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is one of the accelerated technologies which consign solutions to critical application environments. It allows the integration of medical sensors to form a group scenario which makes it viable to remotely collect and communicate the physiological signals of a patient, thus preventing the patient from being tied to a particular set of monitoring medical instruments...

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is considered to apply to both medical healthcare and entertainment applications. A requirement for each application is different, i.e. high reliability for medical healthcare whereas high throughput for entertainment application. However, for both applications, low energy consumption is requested. Multiple hops technics have been researching in many fields of ...

A good mobility model is an essential prerequisite for performance evaluation of protocols for wireless networks with node mobility. Sensor nodes in a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) exhibit high mobility. The WBAN topology may completely change because of posture changes and movement even within a certain type of posture. TheWBAN also moves as a whole in an ambient network. Therefore, an app...

A Wireless body area network (WBAN) consists of sensors attached to the body surface, implanted under the skin, or dispersed in the clothing. Due to implanted feature, replacing sensors or charging their battery requires surgery. So there is a need for efficient energy usage. As the information carried by the nodes is critical, it should be immediately communicated to the monitoring device. Thu...

In this paper, an IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks (WBAN) medium access control protocol is developed to support a wireless USB (WUSB) application as a protocol adaptation layer (PAL). However, current WBAN protocol still does not have well-defined QoS mapping and resource allocation mechanisms to support multimedia streams with requested QoS parameters. To solve this problem, we propo...

A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a network that may be worn on the human body or implanted in to transmit data, audio, and video real-time assess how vital organs are performing. WBAN either an inter-WBAN intra-WBAN network. Intra-WBAN communication occurs when various sensors can share information. This known as communication, which two more WBANs exchange data with one another. One diff...

Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...

Objective: To review different key agreement schemes which are used to establish Wireless body area network (WBAN) on the basis of identified attacks and also evaluate performance parameters. Method: In this paper, an overview WBAN, its architecture, difference between WSN IEEE 802.15.6 specifications in environment security essentials discussed at first. It further divides into four classes pr...

We examine a specific security problem in wireless body area networks (WBANs), what we call the one body authentication problem. That is, how can we ensure that the wireless sensors in a WBAN are collecting data about one individual and not several individuals. We explore existing solutions to this problem and provide some analysis why these solutions are inadequate. Finally, we provide some di...

Recent advances in microelectronics have enabled the realization of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). Increasing the transmission power of WBAN’s nodes improves the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), and hence decreases the bit error probability. However, this increase may impose interference on nodes within the same WBAN or on other nodes of nearby coexisting WBANs, as these WB...
