“…Experimental results showed low latency with high accuracy. 23 Nayyar et al 26,27 analyzed the different routing protocols such as ad hoc on demand distance vector routing protocol, destination sequence distance vector, dynamic source routing, optimized link state routing, ad hoc on demand multipath distance vector, and hybrid wireless mesh routing protocol. All these routing protocols were applied in flying ad hoc networks, and the network performance was compared.…”

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.

“…Adversaries can implant a malevolent node in a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) location that can inject fake data and even receive legal data while acting as a legal device [ 128 ]. Thus, it is very important to validate the authenticity of the BAN devices that they claim to be [ 129 ].…”

The deployment of wearable or body-worn devices is increasing rapidly, and thus researchers’ interests mainly include technical and economical issues, such as networking, interoperability, security, power optimization, business growth and regulation. To address these issues properly, previous survey papers usually focused on describing the wireless body area network architecture and network protocols. This implies that deployment issues and awareness issues of wearable and BAN devices are not emphasized in previous work. To defeat this problem, in this study, we have focused on feasibility, limitations, and security concerns in wireless body area networks. In the aspect of the economy, we have focused on the compound annual growth rate of these devices in the global market, different regulations of wearable/wireless body area network devices in different regions and countries of the world and feasible research projects for wireless body area networks. In addition, this study focuses on the domain of devices that are equally important to physicians, sportsmen, trainers and coaches, computer scientists, engineers, and investors. The outcomes of this study relating to physicians, fitness trainers and coaches indicate that the use of these devices means they would be able to treat their clients in a more effective way. The study also converges the focus of businessmen on the Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) and provides manufacturers and vendors with information about different regulatory bodies that are monitoring and regulating WBAN devices. Therefore, by providing deployment issues in the aspects of technology and economy at the same time, we believe that this survey can serve as a preliminary material that will lead to more advancements and improvements in deployment in the area of wearable wireless body area networks. Finally, we present open issues and further research direction in the area of wireless body area networks.
