“…Friis path loss formula in Eq. (1) verdicts that, transmission distance has an impact to the overall path loss whereas distant nodes have higher chances for huge path loss compared to nodes close to each other [55,56]. Therefore, multipath routing can be an alternative for low transmission power [55].…”

This study presents a survey of the current issues, application areas, findings, and performance challenges in wireless body area networks (WBAN). The survey discusses selected areas in WBAN signal processing, network reliability, spectrum management, security, and WBAN integration with other technologies for highly efficient future healthcare applications. The foundation of the study bases on the recent growing advances in microelectronic technology and commercialization, which ease device availability, miniaturization, and communication. The survey considers a systemic review conducted using reports, standard documents, and peer-reviewed articles. Based on the comprehensive review, we find WBANs faces several operational, standardization, and security issues, affecting performance and maintenance of user safety and privacy. We envision the increasing dependency of future healthcare on WBAN for medical and non-medical applications due to internet connectivity advances. In this view, despite the WBAN advantages in remote health monitoring, further studies need to be conducted for performance optimization. Therefore we finalize our study by proposing various current and future research directions and open issues in WBAN’s performance enhancement.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is an important element of future smart healthcare services in smart cities. For this reason, many research works have been undergone in WBAN. The significant research issue in the WBAN environment is Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. In literature, some of the works have been focused on QoS aspect of WBAN. However, they have only marginal impact due to ineffective network design and the usage of a single sink node. Also, most of the research works have been tested within a single BAN and present intra‐BAN communication. In practical, an effective multi‐BAN communication system is emerging due to the need of large‐scale healthcare system. This paper addresses these issues and designs a novel QoS‐aware Clustered Triad Layer (QC‐TriL) architecture for multi‐BAN environment. The novel QC‐TriL uses dual sink nodes in each BAN and both sinks are deployed in the optimal positions. To determine the optimal position, Type‐II Fuzzy Logic (T2FL) is proposed with different criteria. Next, we form clusters based on the positions of dual sink nodes. QC‐TriL adopts criticality‐aware routing by presenting Delay‐aware One‐Hop Transmission and Fused Rank Scheme (FuRank) for critical data and normal data routing respectively. The data transmission is organized by a novel 1D‐Dragonfly topology‐based Priority Dual TDMA (PD‐TDMA) scheduling protocol. Finally, multi‐BAN communication is enabled with an optimal route selected by QoS‐aware Emperor Penguin Colony (QoS‐EPC) algorithm. The QC‐TriL multi‐BAN environment is modeled in OMNeT++ simulator and evaluated in terms of energy consumption, packet delivery ratio, throughput, and delay. The experiments show promising results for the multi‐BAN environment.

Software-Defined Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN)s have gained significance in emergency healthcare applications for remote patients. Prioritization of healthcare data traffic has a high influence on the congestion and delay in the WBAN routing process. Currently, the energy constraints, packet loss, retransmission delay and increased sensor heat are pivotal research challenges in WBAN. These challenges also degrade the network lifetime and create serious issues for critical health data transmission. In this context, a Priority-based Energy-efficient, Delay and Temperature Aware Routing Algorithm (PEDTARA) is presented in this paper using a hybrid optimization algorithm of Multi-objective Genetic Chaotic Spider Monkey Optimization (MGCSMO). This proposed optimized routing algorithm is designed by incorporating the benefits of chaotic and genetic operators to the position updating function of enhanced Spider Monkey Optimization. For the prioritized routing process, initially, the patient data transmission in the WBAN is categorized into normal, on-demand and emergency data transmissions. Each category is ensured with efficient routing using the three different strategies of the suggested PEDTARA. PEDTARA performs optimal shortest path routing for normal data, energy-efficient emergency routing for high priority critical data and faster but priority verified routing for on-demand data. Thus, the proposed PEDTARA ensures energy-efficient, congestion-controlled and delay and temperature aware routing at any given period of health monitoring. Experiments were performed over a high-performance simulation scenario and the evaluation results showed that the proposed PEDTARA performs efficient routing better than the traditional approaches in terms of energy, temperature, delay, congestion and network lifetime.
