Thermal Energy Harvesting

Extracting an electrical energy from various environmental sources, called energy harvesting (or energyscavenging), has been an issue and attracting researchers attention in energy replenish networks.Thermal energy harvesting holds a promising future for generatinga small amount of electrical power to drive partial circuits in wirelessly communicatingelectronics devices. Reducing power consumption has also become a major challenge in wireless body area network (WBAN). The reliability ofthe WBAN is greatly dependent on the life span of theenergyaware routing in networks.In this paper presented a fuzzy controller for thermal energyaware routing in WBAN.The paper concludes with performance analysis of the thermal energy harvesting aware routing, comparison of fuzzy and other traditional energy management techniques,while also looking at open research areas of thermoelectric harvesting and management for wireless body area networks.

Human Energy Harvesting

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is developed as a result of Wireless personal area network (WPAN), in which various interconnected Body Node (BN) communicates near and around human body. There are many differences between the WBAN and WPAN i.e distribution, density and mobility. Due to redundant nodes, BN in WBAN are less dense. In WBAN, Body node are implanted inside and on human body to measure physiological signals using different sensors i.e Electro cardio graph (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), Blood pressure, temperature etc) of body which collects data and send it to sink node. Earlier researchers have used either piezoelectric harvester, solar or temperature gradient based. But in this paper optimization technique using combination of Peltier and Piezoelectric human energy harvesting is studied. By developing an algorithm, extensive simulation can be performed considering four human body gestures (relaxing, walking, running and fast running). Overall Quality of Service (QoS) including average (packet loss, end-to-end delay, throughput) and overall detection efficiency is studied.

Medium Access

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) have become a leading solution in mobile health (mHealth). Typically, a WBAN consists of in-body or around-body sensor nodes for collecting data of physiological feature. For a WBAN to provide high throughput and low delay in an energy-efficient way, designing an efficient medium access control (MAC) protocol is of paramount importance because the MAC layer coordinates nodes’ access to the shared wireless medium. To show the difference of MAC protocols between Energy-Harvesting wireless body area networks (EH-WBANs) and battery powered WBANs (BT-WBANs), this paper surveys the latest progresses in energy harvesting techniques and WBAN MAC protocol designs. Furthermore, a novel energy utility architecture is designed to enable sensor node lifetime operation in an EH-WBAN.
