In various fields, the internet of things (IoT) gains a lot of popularity due to its autonomous sensors operations with the least cost. In medical and healthcare applications, the IoT devices develop an ecosystem to sense the medical conditions of the patients' such as blood pressure, oxygen level, heartbeat, temperature, etc. and take appropriate actions on an emergency basis. Using it, the healthcare-related data of patients is transmitted towards the remote users and medical centers for post-analysis. Different solutions have been proposed using Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) to monitor the medical status of the patients based on low powered biosensor nodes, however, preventing increased energy consumption and communication costs are demanding and interesting problems. The issue of unbalanced energy consumption between biosensor nodes degrades the timely delivery of the patient's information to remote centers and gives a negative impact on the medical system. Moreover, the sensitive data of the patient is transmitting over the insecure Internet and prone to vulnerable security threats. Therefore, data privacy and integrity from malicious traffic are another challenging research issue for medical applications. This research article aims to a proposed secure and energy-efficient framework using Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) for e-healthcare (SEF-IoMT), which primary objective is to decrease the communication overhead and energy consumption between biosensors while transmitting the healthcare data on a convenient manner, and the other hand, it also secures the medical data of the patients against unauthentic and malicious nodes to improve the network privacy and integrity. The simulated results exhibit that the proposed framework improves the performance of medical systems for network throughput by 18%, packets loss rate by 44%, end-to-end delay by 26%, energy consumption by 29%, and link breaches by 48% than other states of the art solutions.

“…Moreover, the proposed WBAN simulation systems assume a one-hop star topology for a network consisting of several sensor nodes connected to a hub. That is, a two-hop star topology extension mode should be provided in the simulation system to support the routing protocols being studied in the WBANs [24][25][26]. Moreover, realistic simulations cannot be conducted because the channel model or propagation loss model applied to their simulation systems ignores the body shadowing or channel fading caused by human mobility.…”

“…In a one-hop star topology, the data frames between a hub and node are exchanged directly. However, to evaluate the routing protocols studied in WBANs, such as temperature-aware [24], energy-aware [25], and mobility-aware routing [26], an additional complementary mechanism (i.e., two-hop star topology extension) should be provided in the simulation system.…”

Various simulation studies for wireless body area networks (WBANs) based on the IEEE 802.15.6 standard have recently been carried out. However, most of these studies have applied a simplified model without using any major components specific to IEEE 802.15.6, such as connection-oriented link allocations, inter-WBAN interference mitigation, or a two-hop star topology extension. Thus, such deficiencies can lead to an inaccurate performance analysis. To solve these problems, in this study, we conducted a comprehensive review of the major components of the IEEE 802.15.6 standard and herein present modeling strategies for implementing IEEE 802.15.6 MAC on an NS-3 simulator. In addition, we configured realistic network scenarios for a performance evaluation in terms of throughput, average delay, and power consumption. The simulation results prove that our simulation system provides acceptable levels of performance for various types of medical applications, and can support the latest research topics regarding the dynamic resource allocation, inter-WBAN interference mitigation, and intra-WBAN routing.

One of the major applications of sensor networks in the near future will be in the area of biomedical research. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are composed of implanted biosensors for health monitoring and diagnostic purposes. The communication between these sensors is made in a wireless way at the base of the radio waves. The sensors' activity produces heat causing a temperature rise. The high-temperature rise of the sensors for a prolonged period might damage the surrounding tissues. Various routing protocols have been proposed in the literature to remedy this problem. These protocols tried to perform routing based on the SHR algorithm while avoiding hot-spots nodes. However, the energy of sensor nodes located in this shorter path is quickly exhausted and by the way, the whole network lifetime is influenced. In this work, we propose HTTRP, a new routing protocol for WBANs introducing a new route selection mechanism that aims to reduce the overheating of sensors and balance their energy consumption. This mechanism is based on a function that considers the residual energy of sensor nodes and their temperature when choosing the next relay node. The carried out simulation results show that our HTTRP protocol has better performance in terms of network lifetime, charge balancing, temperature rise, and throughput compared to a representative of TARP that is TARA protocol.
