A body wearable antenna (BWA) is a hotly research issue for the examination. In this paper different kind of receiving antennas are displayed which are as of now accessible in writing. A BWA is a material receiving antenna, which is adaptable and comfort. At some point it isn't important that space accessible for mounting the receiving antenna is level, so radio antenna ought not to change its qualities amid twisting conditions. Save specialists for the most part work in such a domain which is disjoined by multipath, which cause the blurring of got flag. So to keep away from such kind of issue a multi energized reception apparatus may require. Besides when receiving antenna is put over the human body, because of bidirectional properties of radio antenna in reverse radiation may hurt the wearer's body. So to minimize such radiations EBG (Electromagnetic band gap) structures are utilized.

A dual-band on-body antenna for a wireless body area network repeater system is proposed. The designed dual-band antenna has the maximum radiation directed toward the inside of the human body in the medical implantable communication service (MICS) band in order to collect vital information from the human body and directed toward the outside in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band to transmit that information to a monitoring system. In addition, the return loss property of the antenna is insensitive to human body effects by utilizing the epsilon negative zeroth-order resonance property.


Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a collection of miniaturized sensing nodes and coordinator nodes. These sensing nodes are placed in, on and around the body for uninterrupted monitoring of physiological data for medical applications. The main application carrier of WBAN is the human body and due to human body movement and physiological changes, the WBAN traffic fluctuates greatly. This network traffic fluctuation requires good network adaptability. In addition to traffic fluctuations, energy consumption is another key problem with WBANs as sensing nodes are very small in size. This paper design a reliable protocol by extending the MAC protocol for reducing energy consumption, PAP algorithm to decide data transmission rate and JOAR algorithm to select the optimize path for the data transmission. The performance of the algorithm outperforms other state of art algorithms to shows its significance.

The enhancement technologies of wireless body area network improved the health monitoring system. Previous work have been designed the implantable chip printed antenna at 4.8 GHz. This paper is continuing the investigation where the antenna wave propagation in term of attenuation and polarization were studied. The antenna is implanted in human hand voxel model from CST Microwave Studio Software. The performances of the antenna are evaluated in term of return loss, gain and efficiency. Results show that the rate attenuation for the propagation is approximately 0.16 dB up to 0.42 dB. All the results will be guidelines in designing implantable antennas in futures.

Wearable medical devices rely on the human body to form a small LAN around the human body, called body area network (BAN). Users can use these devices to monitor the changes of various body indicators in real time. The physiological data involved in this process belongs to personal privacy. Therefore, the security requirements of BAN are relatively high, and its current research focus is on authentication mechanisms. To meet the requirements of security and resource consumption of BAN, this paper proposes a lightweight identity authentication mechanism that meets the characteristics of BAN resource constraints. Based on the characteristics of BAN, a simple and mature star topology structure is applied to establish the network model of BAN. For the human body in normal situations and emergencies, the corresponding authentication mechanism and encryption and decryption method of physiological data are designed by using the physical unclonable function (PUF) and cloud database, physiological data, and cross-correlation algorithm. Furthermore, the formal and informal security analysis of the designed authentication mechanism proves that the authentication mechanism designed in this paper has certain security, and the lightweight authentication mechanism is simulated and evaluated. The experimental results show that compared with the benchmarking mechanism, the authentication mechanism designed in this paper solves more security problems and has certain advantages in terms of calculation cost, communication cost, and energy cost.


A Hexagonal Microstrip Ultra Wide Band Fractal Antenna for wireless body area network applications is proposed. The Hexagonal antenna is powered through co-planar waveguide (CPW) feed structure. The proposed antenna uses a hexagonal fractal structures to achieve its Ultra Wide Band characterization. The addition of fractal elements introduces multi-resonance at different frequencies and covers a large bandwidth of 3.8GHz–10.1GHz respectively. This antenna creates a Fractal geometry inside the patch with similar in shape but difference in sizes. Electromagnetic Band Gap structures are introduced in order to improve gain and directivity of the antenna. Electromagnetic Bandgap Structure (EBG) is mainly focused on overcoming the limitation of Microstrip Patch antenna parameters such as low gain, excitation of surface waves. Electromagnetic Band Gap structures are defined as artificial periodic structures that exhibit unique electromagnetic features, such as frequency band gap for surface waves and in-phase reflection coefficient for incident plane waves, which makes them desirable for low-profile antenna designs. The Electromagnetic Band Gap structure is placed behind the antenna to suppress the propagation of surface wave and to improve gain, directivity and to reduce the side lobes of the radiation pattern. The effect of surface currents in the ground plane reduces the antennas operating bandwidth which is reduced by introducing defective ground structure. The size of the antenna is 25×25×1.588 . The proposed antenna has an average gain of 3.8dB. The radiation pattern obtained is unidirectional.
