Motivated by the increasing need for improved healthcare solutions, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have shown their great potential in revolutionizing the next generation healthcare through enabling continuous monitoring of health status with early detection of abnormal situations. Such networks are able to support a diverse range of applications with traffic rates ranging from several bits per hour up to 10 megabits per second. For the efficient functionality of these applications, each one poses a specific set of Quality of Service (QoS) requirements to the Medium Access Control (MAC) sub-layer including transmission reliability, timeliness and throughput. However, energy limitations of WBANs make the satisfaction of these requirements a challenging task. The current paper aims to explore the application trends of WBANs in the health field as well as the salient features of the MAC protocols proposed for this class of networks, and to provide a general rule indicating the most suitable MAC technology for WBANs based on the characteristics of the targeted application.

Energy Aware Routing

Advances in medical and communication technologies have empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). WBANs interconnect with miniature sensors placed on the human body to enable medical monitoring of patient health. However, the limited battery capacity, delay, and reliability of data transmission have brought challenges to the wider application of WBAN. Minimum consumption of energy and maximum satisfaction with the QoS requirements are essential design aims of the WBAN schemes. Therefore, a fuzzy control-based energy-aware routing protocol (EARP) is proposed in this paper, the proposed protocol establishes a fuzzy control model composed of remaining node energy and link quality, and the best forwarder node is determined by the processes of fuzzification, fuzzy inference, and defuzzification. The simulation results showed that compared with the performance of the existing EERDT and M-TSIMPLE protocols, the proposed EARP has better performance, including extending network lifetime and improving the reliability of data transmission.
