“…Furthermore, it is challenging to designate QoS for a healthcare system due to the fact the environments influence on a WBAN are quite irregular. Although aspects such as bandwidth reservation, of power, latency as well as reliability are common for QoS, for WBAN, the following QoS aspects are valid [12], [22], [23], [48].…”

Nowadays, technology plays a vital part in our daily lives. Especially in medicine, such as consultations, examination, and operation, these processes are necessary and must be utilized accordingly. Medical checkups are required to ensure the patient’s wellbeing. However, many people suffer from severe health conditions and are not always able to leave the house for examination. They are also not aware of potential risks within their body and therefore, don’t feel the need to be examined. With the rise of new technological advantages, new solutions are being presented to tackle those issues. In the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the wireless body area network (WBAN), alongside with its features and functionalities, can be regarded as one of the potential innovations for medicine, military, sport, and entertainment. With its tiny sensors, as well as with its plethora of applications, the WBAN is an excellent choice for remote medical surveillance and treatment. Furthermore, various routing protocols can provide proper solutions, depending on the application needs. However, challenges, such as energy efficiency, and security. are being further developed to improve the needs of its demands. This review is an overview of WBAN technologies, protocols, applications and potential challenges.

“…It is necessary to have a highly reliable transport mechanism to be able to provide vital and essential information instantly and quickly in the case of data loss since, in WBAN, correct data delivery is very sensitive, and the loss of, destruction of, and damage to vital body information during sending can increase the risk of death. In order to reduce energy consumption, this system can use a periodic or periodical system for recording and reporting unnecessary information [32].…”

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are a new advance utilized in recent years to increase the quality of human life by monitoring the conditions of patients inside and outside hospitals, the activities of athletes, military applications, and multimedia. WBANs consist of intelligent micro- or nano-sensors capable of processing and sending information to the base station (BS). Sensors embedded in the bodies of individuals can enable vital information exchange over wireless communication. Network forming of these sensors envisages long-term medical care without restricting patients’ normal daily activities as part of diagnosing or caring for a patient with a chronic illness or monitoring the patient after surgery to manage emergencies. This paper reviews WBAN, its security challenges, body sensor network architecture and functions, and communication technologies. The work reported in this paper investigates a significant security-level challenge existing in WBAN. Lastly, it highlights various mechanisms for increasing security and decreasing energy consumption.

“…Many studies have been conducted on the different aspects of QoS of sensor networks, such as power-saving [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], routing [20][21][22][23][24][25][26], throughput of networks [27], enhancement performance [28,29] and coverage [30][31][32], and. The main goal of this study was to autonomously control the number of active sensors.…”

“…In [6], the system begins to execute until the number of active sensors cannot maintain the target value and the network lifetime ends. In [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], the authors aim to solve the problem of sensor power imbalance and maximize the lifetime of the network system regardless of the definition. To solve the problem of the Gur Game in terms of power imbalance, the mechanism of using sensors to exchange states at a predetermined time can improve the network lifetime [12].…”

In wireless sensor networks, it is important to use the right number of sensors to optimize the network and consider the key design and cost. Due to the limited power of sensors, important issues include how to control the state of the sensor through an automatic control algorithm and how to power-save and efficiently distribute work. However, sensor nodes are usually deployed in dangerous or inaccessible locations. Therefore, it is difficult and impractical to supply power to sensors through humans. In this study, we propose a high reliability control algorithm with fast convergence and strong self-organization ability called the sensor activity control algorithm (SACA), which can efficiently control the number of sensors in the active state and extend their use time. In the next round, SACA considers the relationship between the total number of active sensors and the target value and determines the state of the sensor. The data transmission technology of random access is used between the sensor and the base station. Therefore, the sensor in the sleep state does not need to receive the feedback packet from the base station. The sensor can achieve true dormancy and power-saving effects. The experimental results show that SACA has fast convergence, strong self-organization capabilities, and power-saving advantages.
