“…The interference mitigation methods in WBAN such as power control approach, MAC approach, cognitive radio approach, ultra wideband (UWB) approach, and signal processing approach is important to increase data sending reliability [9]. WBAN technology can be used in various fields of application such as health [10][11], transportation [12], military [13], and sport [14][15][16][17].…”

Hypothermia is a state where the body cannot balance the body heat due to excessive cold temperature pressure so that there will be loss of heat in the body. The result will be a quickly decreasing body temperature. A condition where a body temperature is less than 35°C and that it is accompanied by a decrease in consciousness may cause a death threat. Hypothermia is more common when climbers perform activities in cold temperatures and strong winds, and when they wear wet clothes. It is not easy for a mountain climber to find out his own body temperature as well as that of his friends and to determine whether the body temperature is safe or affected by hypothermia symptoms. Therefore, this research formed a device to detect hypothermia. It consists of temperature sensor, pulse sensor, and accompanied by heating elements based on wireless body area network (WBAN). This device will connect to the user's smartphone by using Bluetooth, so the user can see the condition of his body, adjust the temperature of the heating element, and make a group of climbers. The experiment result shows that the device can detect hypothermia symptoms and inform these symptoms to the users and groups of mountaineers in WBAN area, and the climbers can be more vigilant in responding to hypothermia so that mortality cases caused by hypothermia can be minimized.

“…The authors previous work was carried out to determine the best node locations on a human body and to achieve a maximum connectivity to a receiving unit located on the chest, in order to sustain good wireless communications between the nodes while the athletes are moving [10][11][12][13]. In [10] a wireless accelerometer sensor module was used to determine the link performance by recording the data and traffic loss on different runners and for different transmitter locations around the human body (foot, leg and arm).…”

Body sensor networks with a central gateway node can control wireless transmission and optimize the network lifetime. The central node should be placed within communication reach of other nodes spread out around the human body, such as on the chest. This paper reports a novel energy-efficient time multiplexing transmission method based on the human rhythmic movement of running for on-body wireless communication. The running style of each individual allows the network to selfcalibrate the communication scheme so that transmissions occur only when high link reliability is predicted. This technique takes advantage of the periodic running actions to implement a dynamic time division multiple access (TDMA) strategy for a five node body network with very little communication overhead, long sleep times for the sensor transceivers and robustness to communication errors. The results showed all wireless communications were successful, except when two nodes attempt to use the transmission medium simultaneously. An aggregated network reliability of 90% was achieved compared to 63% when employing traditional time multiplexing algorithms.

“…This opens a new paradigm that can be called the Internet of Sports Things (IoST), which will aid professional athletes to reach their goals using smart wireless sensors networks, applicable on an individual level as well as in the development of team sport activities. Table I presents an overview of different approaches in the application of WSN and technological integration within the scope of sport related activities [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In general, these published research studies help the effectiveness of movements or training performance in different kind of sports.…”

Sport activities have benefited in recent years from the progressive adoption of different technological assets in order to improve individual as well as group training, collect different statistics or enhance the spectator experiences. The progressive adoption of Internet of Things paradigms can also be considered within the scope of sport activities, providing high levels of user interactivity as well as enabling cloud-based data storage and processing. In this work, a system for monitoring biophysical, kinematic and environmental parameters within the development of basketball training is presented. A set of on-body nodes with multiple sensors and wireless body area network capabilities have been designed, implemented and tested under real training conditions during a match. Wireless channel analysis results have been obtained with the aid of in house implemented deterministic 3D ray launching algorithm, providing accurate coverage/capacity estimations in relation with human body consideration in the field as well as in the stadium. Measurement results give relevant information in relation with individual player characteristics as well as with team characteristics, providing a flexible tool to improve training development of basketball.
