The increasing use of wireless networks and the constant miniaturization of electrical devices has empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In these networks various sensors are attached on clothing or on the body or even implanted under the skin. The wireless nature of the network and the wide variety of sensors offer numerous new, practical and innovative applications to improve health care and the Quality of Life. The sensors of a WBAN measure for example the heartbeat, the body temperature or record a prolonged electrocardiogram. Using a WBAN, the patient experiences a greater physical mobility and is no longer compelled to stay in the hospital. This paper offers a survey of the concept of Wireless Body Area Networks. First, we focus on some applications with special interest in patient monitoring. Then the communication in a WBAN and its positioning between the different technologies is discussed. An overview of the current research on the physical layer, existing MAC and network protocols is given. Further, cross layer and quality of service is discussed. As WBANs are placed on the human body and often transport private data, security is also considered. An overview of current and past projects is given. Finally, the open research issues and challenges are pointed out.

“…Table 2 shows the different crosslayered routing protocols. Considering the detailed analysis of cross layered protocols, Cascading Information retrieval by controlling access with distributed slot assignment (CICADA) [14] and time zone coordinated sleep scheduling [15] have less power consumption. Wireless autonomous spanning tree protocol (WASP) [16] has better packet delivery ratio and CICADA has less delay.…”

“…When IEEE 802.15.4 standard networks are used, it will be good if the TICOSS [15] protocol is redesigned for reducing the average delay which is not considered in the existing one. If the entire network performance is to be optimized, the choice will be the Biocomm protocols along with new techniques to reduce the node temperature.…”

“…This table helps to choose a particular protocol based on the QoS requirements. For example, if the application of the proposed system is patient monitoring in hospitals, then the protocols like WASP [16] or TICOSS [15] can be selected due to its high packet delivery ratio and low average delay. If the sensors are implanted within the body, then the protocols like Co-LEEBA [33], TARA [59], or routing algorithm for network of homogeneous and Id-less biomedical sensor nodes (RAIN) [66] can be chosen.…”

In the present scenario, the term wireless body area network (WBAN) is becoming an integral part of human day to day life due its wide variety of applications, especially in the field of healthcare systems. To design such a reliable body area network system, there are a number of factors to be considered both in hardware and software levels. One of such factors still developing is the design and the analysis of routing protocols in the network layer. Routing protocols are a set of protocols which can identify and maintain the routes in the network so that the data can be exchanged between the nodes efficiently. Hence, routing protocol plays a vital role in the wireless sensor networks for reliable communication between the sensor nodes. In this paper, different routing protocols for body area networks are surveyed and observed that they are affected by factors like energy, network topology, various quality of services (QoS) in the nodes, node temperature, transmission range of nodes, human posture, etc. An evocative taxonomy of protocols is presented such as cluster-based, cross-layered, postural movement based, QoS aware and temperature-aware routing protocols. From the survey, it is found that the selection of a routing protocol is application dependent. For example, the energy efficient protocols like reinforcement learning based routing with QoS support or wireless autonomous spanning tree protocol can be used for daily health monitoring systems due to its high packet delivery ratio. If the system is for in vivo networks, routing algorithm for network of homogeneous and Id-less biomedical sensor nodes or mobility-supporting adaptive threshold-based Thermal-aware energy-efficient multi-hop protocols are the suitable ones. For critical and emergency cases, where accuracy with little delay is the major concern, the protocols like critical data routing, reliability aware routing, data-centric multi objective QoS-aware routing protocol, etc. can be rightly chosen. This entire survey paper can be used by the researchers as a reference for studying various WBAN routing protocols, especially in the field of medical health care systems.

“…TICOSS [33] sets all nodes as Full Functional Devices (FDD) and provides improvements to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard by offering configurable shortest path routing to the BAN coordinator, preserving energy and reducing hidden terminal collisions through V-scheduling (due to V-shape communication flow). This results in double the operation lifetime of IEEE 802.15.4 for high traffic scenarios and the extending IEEE 802.15.4 to support mobility.…”

Abstract-Recent technological advancements in wireless communication, integrated circuits and Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMs) has enabled miniaturized, lowpower, intelligent, invasive/ non-invasive micro and nanotechnology sensor nodes placed in or on the human body for use in monitoring body function and its immediate environment referred to as Body Area Networks (BANs). BANs face many stringent requirements in terms of delay, power, temperature and network lifetime which need to be taken into serious consideration in the design of different protocols. Since routing protocols play an important role in the overall system performance in terms of delay, power consumption, temperature and so on, a thorough study on existing routing protocols in BANs is necessary. Also, the specific challenges of BANs necessitates the design of new routing protocols specifically designed for BANs. This paper provides a survey of existing routing protocols mainly proposed for BANs. These protocols are further classified into five main categories namely, temperature based, crosslayer, cluster based, cost-effective and QoS-based routing, where each protocol is described under its specified category. Also, comparison among routing protocols in each category is given.
