A Novel Approach for Wireless Body Area Network Challenges and Energy Management

Abstract

A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) typically consists of a collection of low-power, miniaturised, invasive or non-invasive, lightweight devices with wireless communication capabilities that operate in the proximity of a human body. These devices can be placed in, on, or around the body, and are often wireless sensor nodes that can monitor the human body functions and characteristics from the surrounding environment. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) is an emerging technology where used in healthcare environment to improve the quality of life. In WBAN, type of variable are attached or implemented on the body. These technology bring new application where called medical application. The objective of medical application is to collect sensitive data which using with healthcare service provider. Healthcare service provider access to the resource to monitor the state of object in any time of day and night. Using these technologies and medical application help to reducing the cost of medical application and also the healthcare service provider able to monitor the objects remotely instead of face to face. In this paper we focused on the concept of WBANs.
