“…The idea here is to send the data packages periodically to the coordinator. Some examples are the "energy-efficient and distributed network management cost minimization (NCMD)", "A novel mobility handling routing protocol (MHRP)" and "distance vector with postural link cost (DVRPLC) [23], [29], [32].…”

<span>Technology nowadays is developing at an unprecedented pace in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSN). Especially in the aftermath of the pandemic, wireless body area networks (WBAN), which is a sub-category of WSN, experiences huge prominence, due to its functionality to enable remote diagnosis, treatment, and constant monitoring for patients. This functionality is a great advantage, since it allows elderly people, people with chronical diseases and even emergency cases to be monitored in real-time and, if needed, also enabling timely interventions. Furthermore, it is very cost-efficient since it reduces the occupation of hospital beds, whilst also keeping patients safer. This is possible by deploying small sensors within or around the body, where they can gather physiological data, which then at the end is send to medical terminals, where medical staff have access to them. However, a WBAN, due to its small size, is constricted by several factors. Energy consumption, security, data transmission, as well as heat generation are only a few to be named. To deal with these challenges, whilst enabling a stable communication between the components, routing protocols are required. There are many different routing protocols which are used depending on the application being used. </span>

“…For example, if it is possible to predict in advance and to determine the coming action, due to the regularity of the body's movements, then a reduction in data transmission delay, as well as an enhancement in its rate can be achieved. Some examples of posture-based routing are "a novel mobility handling routing protocol (MHRP)" and "energy-efficient and distributed network management cost minimization (NCMD)" [2], [9], [35].…”

“…Examples of QoS are energy efficiency, data security, data priority, data transmission and link reliability, thermal emission as well as low transmission delay. Some examples of quality of service-based routing are "designing lightweight QoS routing protocol (LRPD)" and "hybrid data-centric routing protocol (HDPR)" [2], [9], [18], [35].…”

“…For example, the priority level of physiological information regarding body temperature should not be on an equal priority level such as a fatal condition. Thus, a proper routing decision must be smart and fast since it can cost the life of a patient in a worst-case scenario [2], [49].…”

“…Specifically, in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), such as the wireless body area network (WBAN), has there been a great enhancement for these sectors since these types of networks enable a constant and real-time surveillance and thus allows a greater accuracy in data evaluation. Areas, such as wireless health management systems (WHMSs) in particular, gained a tremendous amount due to possibility of being able to detect and, if necessary, treat acute and chronic diseases at an early stage [2], [3]. This review will focus on the WBAN alongside with its applications, which are used in WHMS.…”

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.
