Aims: Health monitoring in Wireless Body Area Networks. Background: A medical wireless body area network activated by IoT is mainly concerned with transmitting the quality details to the doctor within a fair period. The explosion of wearable gadgets and recent developments in miniature sensors illustrate the technological viability of any universal tracking program. IoT incorporates a range of tools fitted with sensing, recognition, communication, etc. Objective: To improve the medical facility. Method: The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) Internet of Things (IoT) for healthcare applications is an operational scenario for IoT systems that has attracted interest from large fields of study in the last few years. Internet of Things Based Stable Increased-throughput Multi-hop Protocol for Link Efficiency (IoT-SIMPLE), the IoT ties both topics to the healthcare network effortlessly. IoT enables the sensing, retrieval, and connectivity of all facilities or functional criteria and biomedicine. It puts the surgeons, the patients together And nurses can roam without any restrictions through smart devices, and each entity. Now work is underway to improve the healthcare sector by rising prices and increasing patient care quality. The route determines the route between the nodes and the sink. In this paper, we propose a protocol in WBAN that transmits body sensing data from various sensors, installed on the human body, to sink nodes using a multihop routing technique. Our key goal is to increase WBAN’s total network existence by raising cumulative energy usage. The residual energy parameter governs the usage of energy by the sensor nodes while the distance parameter ensures that the packet is effectively transmitted into the sink Result: Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed protocol very energy efficient and maximizes network stability for longer periods. Conclusion: Throughout this paper, we suggest a method for route data to WBANs. The suggested system uses the expense feature to choose the correct path to fall. The costs of the nodes and their spread from the drain are dependent on residual electricity. Nodes with a lower cost function value are selected as the parent node. Other nodes are parent node children and send their data to parent node. Our simulation tests demonstrate that the suggested routing scheme increases the network reliability period and the packet sent to the sink and in future more numbers of sensors can be used to extend this work to measure throughput, network lifetime, and end-to-end delay.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is a special type of wireless sensor network. It consists of sensors mounted on a human body to measure important body parameters. WBAN network uses different technologies such as IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6. In this paper, research outcomes focused on WBAN architecture design and performance analysis in a simulation environment for different routing protocols are done for IEEE 802.15.6. A comparative report is prepared for WBAN technology. Routing protocols are compared with each other based on energy consumption, throughput, and delay. For simulation purposes, a sensor network is designed by placing three sensors in a single hop star topology with a single central hub. The test run was successfully carried out to check the network configuration. A performance of three routing protocols for WBAN wireless technologies is investigated. These three routing protocols include AODV (Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing), DSDV (Destination Sequenced –Distance Vector routing) and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing). In three sets of simulation, the effect of various routing protocols on throughput, delay, and the energy consumption is calculated by increasing packet rate up to 2000 Kbps with an increment of 250 Kbps. Simulation results have shown that WBAN with AODV routing protocol is the most suitable to reduce power consumption and delay, and to increase throughput. Detailed analysis is discussed in the paper.

The IEEE 802.15.6 standard emerged as the most suitable standard that fits the special requirements of wireless body area networks. It provides flexibility to designers by recommending the use of several medium access control layer techniques, but does not specify how to combine some or all these recommended techniques to form the most efficient wireless body area network medium access control for a specific scenario. Our goal here is to design a wireless body area network medium access control that provides an optimal combination of these basic techniques that are available in the standard, by taking into consideration the variability and heterogeneity of the sensors. The performance of the proposed techniques is evaluated using some of the standard performance measures such as throughput, delay, and energy consumption.

In Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), various biomedical sensors (BMSs) are deployed to monitor various vital signs of a patient for detecting the abnormality of the vital signs. These BMSs inform the medical staff in advance before the patient’s life goes into a threatening situation. In WBAN, routing layer has the same challenges as generally seen in WSN, but the unique requirements of WBANs need to be addressed by the novel routing mechanisms quite differently from the routing mechanism in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The slots allocation to emergency and nonemergency patient’s data is one of the challenging issues in IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6 MAC Superframe structures. In the similar way, IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6 PHY layers have also unique constraints to modulate the various vital signs of patient data into continuous and discrete forms. Numerous research contributions have been made for addressing these issues of the aforementioned three layers in WBAN. Therefore, this paper presents a cross-layer design structure of WBAN with various issues and challenges. Moreover, it also presents a detail review of the existing cross-layer protocols in the WBAN domain by discussing their strengths and weaknesses.
