A Review of State-of-the-Art on Wireless Body Area Networks

Abstract

Abstract-During the last few years, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged into many application domains, such as medicine, sport, entertainments, military, and monitoring. This emerging networking technology can be used for e-health monitoring. In this paper, we review the literature and investigate the challenges in the development architecture of WBANs. Then, we classified the challenges of WBANs that need to be addressed for their development. Moreover, we investigate the various diseases and healthcare systems and current state-ofthe-art of applications and mainly focus on the remote monitoring for elderly and chronically diseases patients. Finally, relevant research issues and future development are discussed.

SNR based Energy Efficient Communication Protocol for Emergency Applications in WBAN

“…Additionally, huge information transformation and estimation is required at the edge or cloud. Could computing [6] can be used with regular transformation and data analysis. This inquiry can then be used by the clinicians for providing better treatment of patient in healthcare as well as research.…”

“…Many of the applications work in the proximity of the human body to enhance the quality of life [1], [2]. In [3], the authors made a taxonomy of electronic applications on the human body: Body sensor network (BSN), body area network (BAN), wireless body area network (WBAN) [4]. They are used for medical, military and emergency applications, wireless power transmission (WPT) and radio frequency identification (RFID).…”
