Wireless body area networks (WBAN) consist of resource constrained sensing devices just like other wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, they differ from WSN in topology, scale and security requirements. Due to these differences, key management schemes designed for WSN are inefficient and unnecessarily complex when applied to WBAN. Considering the key management issue, WBAN are also differen...

The seamless integration of low-power, miniaturised, invasive/non-invasive lightweight sensor nodes have contributed to the development of a proactive and unobtrusive Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). A WBAN provides long-term health monitoring of a patient without any constraint on his/her normal dailylife activities. This monitoring requires the low-power operation of invasive/non-invasive s...

The latest collect vital information of the patient and communicate them to a central unit using short-range wireless communication techniques. The security and privacy protection of the data collected from a WBAN is...

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a networking concept that has evolved with the idea of monitoring vital physiological signals from low-power and miniaturized in-body or on-body sensors. In a WBAN, data collected from the sensor nodes are transferred to a remote node via a wireless medium, where the data is forwarded to a higher layer application to be interpreted. A WBAN system might requi...

The coexistence problem occurs when a single wireless body area network (WBAN) is located within a multiple-WBAN environment. This causes WBANs to suffer from severe channel interference that degrades the communication performance of each WBAN. Since a WBAN handles vital signs that affect human life, the detection or prediction of coexistence condition is needed to guarantee reliable communicat...
