The recent advancement in information technology and evolving of the (IoT) shifted the traditional medical approach to patient-oriented approach (e.g., Telemedicine/Telemonitoring). IoT permits several services including sensing, processing and communicating information with physical and bio-medical constraints. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) handles the issues pertaining to the medical purposes in the form of sensor nodes and connected network. The WBAN takes human physiological data as an input to subsequently monitor the patient conditions that are transferred to other IoT components for analysis. Such monitoring and analysis demand a cohesive routing approach to ensure the safe and in-time transfer of data. The temperature rise of bio-medical sensor nodes makes the entire routing operation very crucial because the temperature of implanted nodes rises and ultimately damages body tissues. This needs dispersion in data transmission among different nodes by opting various available routes while avoiding temperature rise. In this paper, we present Adaptive Thermal-Aware Routing algorithm for WBAN. The ATAR is designed to overcome the temperature rise issue of implanted bio-medical sensors nodes. The new protocol is based on Multi-Ring Routing approach to find an alternative route in the case of increasing temperature. The simulation results indicate that proposed protocol is more efficient in terms of temperature rise and throughput than existing approaches.

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.

In the present era the use of e-health plays a major role in the field of medical science. Today a significant attraction interest is towards Wireless Body area network (WBAN). The major challenges of Wireless Body area network (WBAN) technique are to maintain the quality service and to track the network stability for a longer time, e.g., probability of delivery, and latency. The main important issue is to maintain the energy efficiency within the formed network. Here we propose a protocol for WBANs based on MAC using the multi-dimension (MD) graph optimization to compromise the energy consumption and QoS in data transmission. In WBANs, low battery performing on-body or inculcate biomedical sensor nodes are applicable to observe and gathers the physiological signals like body temperature, blood pressure, ECG and EEG. The MAC protocol design utilizes an optimization algorithm to optimize the scheduled traffic and channel of WBAN. The proposed protocol simulation results will be better than TDMA, CA-MAC and IEEE 802.15.6 MAC in terms of energy efficiency and QoS for large network conditions.

Wireless body area network (WBAN), a part of WSN, plays a pivotal role in the remote health monitoring system, these days. Wireless sensor nodes placed in, on, or around the human body are used to create WBAN. This WBAN is mainly used for collecting physiological and vital signals from humans in real-time using sensor nodes. It consists of different sensor nodes and hub, which collects the data from sensor nodes and send them to the gateway. High data rates at HUB cause the damage of an organ receiving high temperature in tissue by electromagnetic signals for a long period. In this chapter, by considering parameters such as the specific absorption rate, Battery Level, Priority of sensor nodes, and signal to noise interference (SINR) a HUB is selected dynamically, which shares the work of the HUB among different sensor nodes. So that workload on HUB decreases and shares its work accordingly to other sensor nodes concerning the data collected through the software LabVIEW. This chapter also illustrates the network (testbed) created using sensors for practically making the change in HUB by using the microcontroller, power, LM 35, BP sensor, Heartrate sensors arranged in a network through Arduino programming. In both these cases, the negative effect of electro-magnetic signals in WBAN, and the tissue damage in humans reduce for remote-health monitoring while increasing the network lifetime.
