“…The body area networks (BANs) are made of miniature network nodes that are used to sense physical activities and physiological signals. Conventionally, BANs can detect physiological activities such as blood glucose, body temperature, heart rate, and level body pressure and blood oxygen [4]. The nodes in the BANs can communicate wirelessly; thus, in such architectures, it is referred to as wireless body area network (WBAN) [7].…”

“…In the intra-body transmission is tasked with handling information between the sensors and the actuators and the sink; the extra-body correspondence is where the control of the data between the destination node and the external networks. The WBANs can be used in numerous fields such as sports, remote medical examination, and lifestyle [4]. The most common inbody medical use of WBAN is in the monitoring of the pacemakers, control of bladder functions, restoration  ISSN: 2088-8708 of limbs control, and implanted cardiac defibrillators.…”

“…The IEEE 802.15.4 and 802.15.6 standards stipulate the structure of the physical and medium access control (MAC) layers that formed the baseline of the WBANs technology. In the physical level of the WBAN, the communication spectrum is allotted into sub-channels [4]. Additionally, coexistence strategies have been implemented to allow corporation in the dense deployment networks in WBAN.…”

“…The corporation strategies are implemented in the IEEE 802.15.6 standard and incorporates active super frame, hopping channel and beacon shifting approaches [5]. The hopping channel approach ensures WBAN avoids interference that can occur in the same pathway through the selection of a new pathway based on the hopping channel sequence [4]. The hopping channel sequence is created by the coordinator with regards to the channel not being used by the neighbor [1].…”

The wireless body area network (WBAN) has been proposed to offer a solution to the problem of population ageing, shortage in medical facilities and different chronic diseases. The development of this technology has been further fueled by the demand for real-time application for monitoring these cases in networks. The integrity of communication is constrained by the loss of packets during communication affecting the reliability of WBAN. Mitigating the loss of packets and ensuring the performance of the network is a challenging task that has sparked numerous studies over the years. The WBAN technology as a problem of reducing network lifetime; thus, in this paper, we utilize cooperative routing protocol (CRP) to improve package delivery via end-to-end latency and increase the length of the network lifetime. The end-to-end latency was used as a metric to determine the significance of CRP in WBAN routing protocols. The CRP increased the rate of transmission of packets to the sink and mitigate packet loss. The proposed solution has shown that the end-to-end delay in the WBAN is considerably reduced by applying the cooperative routing protocol. The CRP technique attained a delivery ratio of 0.8176 compared to 0.8118 when transmitting packets in WBAN.

“…Several mechanisms discussed above [25][26][27][28]39,40] have been adopted to handle the problem of temperature rise when data is transmitted among the nodes as well as a sink node in an IoT-based WBAN system. To the best of our knowledge, these techniques do not focus on the overall rise of temperature in the entire network and temperature rise in the forwarding node.…”

Adaptive Thermal-Aware Routing Protocol for Wireless Body Area Network

et al. 2019

The recent advancement in information technology and evolving of the (IoT) shifted the traditional medical approach to patient-oriented approach (e.g., Telemedicine/Telemonitoring). IoT permits several services including sensing, processing and communicating information with physical and bio-medical constraints. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) handles the issues pertaining to the medical purposes in the form of sensor nodes and connected network. The WBAN takes human physiological data as an input to subsequently monitor the patient conditions that are transferred to other IoT components for analysis. Such monitoring and analysis demand a cohesive routing approach to ensure the safe and in-time transfer of data. The temperature rise of bio-medical sensor nodes makes the entire routing operation very crucial because the temperature of implanted nodes rises and ultimately damages body tissues. This needs dispersion in data transmission among different nodes by opting various available routes while avoiding temperature rise. In this paper, we present Adaptive Thermal-Aware Routing algorithm for WBAN. The ATAR is designed to overcome the temperature rise issue of implanted bio-medical sensors nodes. The new protocol is based on Multi-Ring Routing approach to find an alternative route in the case of increasing temperature. The simulation results indicate that proposed protocol is more efficient in terms of temperature rise and throughput than existing approaches.
