The wireless body area network (WBAN) consists of wearable or implantable sensor nodes, which is a technology that enables pervasive observing and delivery of health-related information and services. The network capability of body devices and integration with wireless infrastructure can result in pervasive environment deliver the information about the patients to health care service providers. WBAN has a major part in e-health observing system. Due to sensitivity and critical of the data carried and handled by WBAN, reliability becomes a critical issues. WBAN loads a high degree of reliability as it openly affects the quality of patient observing. A main requirement is that the health care professionals receive the monitored data correctly. Thus reliability can be measured to achieve reliable network are fault tolerance, QoS, and security. As WBAN is a special type of WSN. The objective is to achieve a reliable network with minimum delay and maximum throughput while considering power consumption by reducing unnecessary communication.

The evolution and empowerment of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is achieved through the rapid advancement in the wireless communication technologies. The use of different kinds of sensors which are utilized in the health care applications for patient monitoring are helped for diagnosis of life threatening disease which can be improved by using WBAN. These wearable systems help in controlling the life of patient is as they play essential role to save patient’s life. In recent past, the system architecture is constructed for WBAN for monitoring of health care application and enhancing the technical requirements in a WBAN network. Although, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) is one of the emanate technology which utilizes the patient health condition for monitoring in real time, several issues that are faced by WBAN are Quality of Service (QoS), security, data loss, authentication, channel issues and energy efficiency. Most of the WBANs utilizes wireless channel for process of communication in which these typical sensors with single transceiver device transmits the information with low power by utilizing a single channel using Medium Access Control (MAC) layer in WBAN. However, the degradation in performance of these devices is high when the sensors density is increased. The solution to overcome this performance degradation is carried out by making use of multiple channels, due to which the channels are optimally utilized and the cooperation among the sensor nodes is achieved. In this paper, the survey of different protocols used for WBAN under different channel conditions is discussed in WBANs with its merits.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) refers to a group of small intelligent electronic devices placed on the human body to monitor its vital signals. It provides a continuous health monitoring of a patient without any constraint on his/her normal daily life activities through the health care applications. Due to the strong heterogeneous nature of the applications, data rates will vary strongly, ranging from simple data at a few Kbits/s to video stream of several Kbits/s. Data can also be sent in bursts, which means that it is sent at a higher data rate during the bursts. This study covers the main requirements of communication technologies that are used in WBAN comprise of two major parts. The first part, which presents the short-range classification, gives a specialized outline of a few standard wireless technologies that are short- ranged. These are introduced as contender for intra-BAN communications for communications inside a Body Area Network (BAN) and between the elements.

This paper gives an understanding of what possibilities Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) have when using shortrange wireless communications protocols. There advantages are used to facilitate versatility in the movements of health care patients. The paper investigates the feasibility of using the ZigBee protocol, givean analysis of methods for collection of received data from multi sensor environment, and mechanisms for privacy and data protection by using encryption techniques. This characteristics are applied on previously developed collaborative healthcare system model (COHESY).COHESY is aimed at continuous real time remote patients’ health monitoring.

Abstract Remote monitoring system has been applied in different applications such as agriculture, industrial automation, defence, telecommunication and health care. In health care applications, wireless networks get the impact with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). WBAN is helpful in monitoring patients’ health and it also possesses secure transmission and access control mechanism with different sensors. WBAN monitors the patient’s health and transfers the information to data pool without influencing patient’s daily routine activities. Further, the health report data are sent to the doctor over the network from the place of the patient without any data loss and delay. Due to increasing usage of wireless services, the available networks have been congested with heavy traffic which leads to miscommunication and delay. To overcome this scenario, solution has been proposed with help of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN). Collected information are transferred to cognitive controller which acts as central node. Cognitive controller selects the channel to transfer the information with QoS as well as without any delay. Based on the input parameters, the channel selection process is optimized and it will also improve the system performance with secure transmissions. Using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) optimizing, the channel selection process has been carried out and it also provides more accurate solution to choose the channel. For the optimization of the proposed approach Mamdani and Sugeno methods have been used. These methods yield the best results with minimum error probability of 0.9 compared to the existing methods and these methods have achieved efficiencies of 98% and 99%, respectively.
