“…this category named "Mobility-aware" [36], [37]. Protocols that investigate the location and placement and relay of nodes are the category of "location restriction and number of relays" [38], [39]. This category uses multi-hop for data transferring, that cause reduces energy consume.…”

Abstract-During the last few years, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged into many application domains, such as medicine, sport, entertainments, military, and monitoring. This emerging networking technology can be used for e-health monitoring. In this paper, we review the literature and investigate the challenges in the development architecture of WBANs. Then, we classified the challenges of WBANs that need to be addressed for their development. Moreover, we investigate the various diseases and healthcare systems and current state-ofthe-art of applications and mainly focus on the remote monitoring for elderly and chronically diseases patients. Finally, relevant research issues and future development are discussed.

“…Simulation results show that this framework has a very short computing time as compared to the other frameworks. In [26], the authors study propagation models subject to network lifetime prolongation. These models reveal that single-hop communication is inefficient for far away nodes from the sink and the multi-hop communication is more suitable.…”

“…The basic radio model proposed for WBASNs is in [26]. We choose the radio model of [26] due to two reasons: (i) this model meets all the design considerations of our work and (ii) it is the mostly used one in literature. To transmit "w" bit data over a distance "d", the dissipated energy of transmitter E tx (w, d) is given by the following equation:…”

In wireless body area sensor networks (WBASNs), energy efficiency is an area of extreme significance. At first, we present a mathematical model for a non-invasive inductive link which is used to recharge the battery of an implanted biomedical device (pacemaker). Afterwards, we propose a distance-aware relaying energy-efficient (DARE) and mutual information-based DARE (MI-DARE) routing protocols for multihop mobility-aware body area sensor networks (MM-BASNs). Both the routing protocols and the non-invasive inductive link model are tested with the consideration of eight patients in a hospital unit under different topologies, where the vital signs of each patient are monitored through seven on-body sensors and an implanted pacemaker. To reduce energy consumption of the network, the sensors communicate with a sink via an on-body relay which is fixed on the chest of each patient. The behavior (static/mobile) and position of the sink are changed in each topology, and the impact of mobility due to postural changes of the patient(s) arms, legs, and head is also investigated. The MI-DARE protocol further prolongs the network lifetime by minimizing the number of transmissions. Simulation results show that the proposed techniques outperform contemporary schemes in terms of the selected performance metrics.

“…Hence, electromagnetic waves around the body are considerably attenuated leading to high data path loss and delay spread due to placement on different body sides and constraining data transmission over an arbitrary distance around the body. In cases with too much data transmission around the body, temperature rise and tissue heating can cause significant issues [44].…”

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.
