Body area network (BAN) connects sensors and actuators to the human body in order to collect patient’s information and transmitting it to doctors in a confined space with limited users. wireless body area network (WBAN) is derived from wireless sensor networks (WSN) and enables to transfer of the patient's information with a wide range of communication due to the limitations of the wired body area network. It plays a vital role in healthcare monitoring, healthcare systems, medical field, sports field, and multimedia communication. Sensors and actuators lead to high energy consumption due to their tiny size. WBAN facilitates in securely storing patient information and transmitting it to the doctor without data loss at a specific time. This review examines and summarizes methodological approaches in WBAN relating to security, safety, reliability, and the fastest transmission. Flying body area networks (FBAN) utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles for data transmission are recommended to promote rapid and secure communication in WBAN. FBAN improve the security, scalability, and speed in order to transmit patient’s information to the doctor due to high mobility.
Flying Ad Hoc Network is derived from the mobile ad hoc network and it consists of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for high-speed communication. Flying Ad Hoc Network has high mobility, and the users can communicate without the help of human intervention. Due to high mobility in FANET, network performance is to be concentrated more. Designing a routing protocol is the most important metric for continuous monitoring, analyzing the network performance, and improve efficient network communication. Design of routing protocol should fulfill the important criteria like neighbor nodes selection, shortest path, traffic control, high scalability, high reliability, high data delivery, low drop rate, lesser delay, and high throughput. Due to the high speed in FANET, routing protocols are to be focused on the improvement of network performance and quality of services. This research work studies the detailed review of suitable routing protocols for Flying Ad hoc Networks and discussed the possible outcomes of the different routing strategies such as source-initiated data-centric, table-driven, hybrid, multipath, location-aware, multicast, geographical multicast, power-aware, and energy-aware. This research study suggested the important metrics be concentrated on designing the efficient routing protocol for Flying Ad Hoc Networks and on improving the quality of services.
Wireless body area networks play a vital role in the medical field by saving human lives. It senses the human body condition and transmits it to the respective doctors. The faster the communication, the sensed data can be transmitted faster and the patients in emergency can be treated on time.Therefore, to increase the speed of communication, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are used in biomedical applications. In this flying ad hoc network, there is a possibility of link failure due to the high mobility of UAV. To overcome this issue, a new routing protocol, Mobility Management UAV-based Grouping (MMUG), for biomedical data transmission from one ground station to another via UAV is suggested in this research. The UAV creates the grouping system based on the coverage range of the group head. Group head selects the node that lies closer to the ground station. Group head continuously monitors the mobility of the unmanned aerial vehicles that lie in the coverage range and thus helps to maintain the link stability. The mobility issue will be overcome by using this proposed scheme, and it manages the mobility. The mobility management helps to increase the network performance by increasing the delivery rate and throughput and reducing the drop rate and overhead. Simulation results show that this routing protocol achieves 86% delivery rate and 1.95 Mbps throughput and reduces the drop rate by 14%, control overhead by 23%, and routing overhead by 20%. Moreover, this model achieves higher network performance compared to the existing techniques.
