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.

Background and objective: In the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) sensors are placed on the human body; which has various mobility patterns like seating, walking, standing and running. This mobility typically assisted with hand and leg movements on which most of the sensors are mounted. Previous studies were largely focused on simulations of WBAN mobility without focusing much on hand and leg movements. Thus for realistic studies on performance of the WBAN, it is important to consider hand and leg movements. Thus, an objective of this paper is to investigate an effect of the mobility patterns with hand movements on the throughput of the WBAN. Method: The IEEE 802.15.6 requirements are considered for WBAN design. The WBAN with star topology is used to connect three sensors and a hub. Three types of mobility viz. standing, walking and running with backward and forward hand movements is designed for simulation purpose. The throughput analysis is carried out with the three sets of simulations with standing, walking and running conditions with the speed of 0 m/s, 0.5 m/s and 3 m/s respectively. The data rate was increased from 250 Kb to 10000 Kb with AODV protocol. It is intended to investigate the effect of the hand movements and the mobility conditions on the throughput. Simulation results are analyzed with the aid of descriptive statistics. A comparative analysis between the simulated model and a mathematical model is also introduced to get more insight into the data. Results: Simulation studies showed that as the data rate is increased, throughput is also increased for all mobility conditions however, this increasing trend was discontinuous. In the standing (static) position, the throughput is found to be higher than mobility (dynamic) condition. It is found that, the throughput is better in the running condition than the walking condition. Average values of the throughput in case of the standing condition were more than that of the dynamic conditions. To validate these results, a mathematical model is created. In the mathematical model, a same trend is observed. Conclusion: Overall, it is concluded that the throughput is decreased due to mobility of the WBAN. It is understood that mathematical models have given more insight into the simulation data and confirmed the negative effect of the mobility conditions on throughput. In the future, it is proposed to investigate effect of interference on the designed network and compare the results.
