“…WBAN users may be mobile or fixed, and sometimes with varying node distribution or changing body posture. Therefore, defining a proper channel model is complicated [20]. Similarly, the communication model may be affected due to the variations of the user body sizes, shape, skin texture, and flexibility.…”

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.

“…In this technique, the adaption of different order of modulation according to channel condition is used as an ECS. In [58,59], the authors introduced the link adaption technique in WBAN while considering the IEEE 802.15.4 standard to reduce packet loss where CSMA/CA in MAC and different modulation schemes in physical layer are combined. The link adaptation technique does not use any ECC and the WBAN considered in these papers is one-hop star topology.…”

This paper offers a review of different types of Error Correction Scheme (ECS) used in communication systems in general, which is followed by a summary of the IEEE standard for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). The possible types of channels and network models for WBAN are presented that are crucial to the design and implementation of ECS. Following that, a literature review on the proposed ECSs for WBAN is conducted based on different aspects. One aspect of the review is to examine what type of parameters are considered during the research work. The second aspect of the review is to analyse how the reliability is measured and whether the research works consider the different types of reliability and delay requirement for different data types or not. The review indicates that the current literatures do not utilize the constraints that are faced by WBAN nodes during ECS design. Subsequently, we put forward future research challenges and opportunities on ECS design and the implementation for WBAN when considering computational complexity and the energy-constrained nature of nodes.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a new and promising wireless communication technology which consists several sensors around, on or even implant into human bodies to sense importance human physical signals. In order to erect and develop a robust WBAN, accurate modeling of the body-area network radio-propagation channel and understand the statistical characteristics in close proximity to the human body are required. In this paper, we focus on study the on-body to on-body WBAN path loss model, the environments factors are considered. The statistical parameters are extracted form measurements data, the proposed path loss model is validated through comparison with a measurement-based approach.
