“…Among the various difficulties of WBAN, energy utilization is an essentially vital long-term arrangement of WBANs, which is elaborated in various studies (ESR [14][15][16][17]23]). Here we shed a light on some of the energy-aware routing protocols including SIMPLE [49], Co-CEStat [50], RSSI [51], MEPF [52], DARE [53] and ESR [54].…”

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.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is usually composed of nodes for contacting the body and coordinator for collecting the body data from the nodes. In this setup, the nodes are under constraint of the energy resource while the coordinator can be recharged and has relatively larger energy resource than the nodes. Therefore, the architecture mechanism of the networks must not allow the nodes to consume much energy. Primarily, Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols should be carefully designed to consider this issue, because the MAC layer has the key of the energy efficiency phenomenon (e.g., idle listening). Under these characteristics, we propose a new MAC protocol to satisfy the higher energy efficiency of nodes than coordinator by designing the asymmetrically energy-balanced model between nodes and coordinator. The proposed scheme loads the unavoidable energy consumption into the coordinator instead of the nodes to extend their lifetime. Additionally, the scheme also provides prioritization for the emergency data transmission with differentiated Quality of Service (QoS). For the evaluations, IEEE 802.15.6 was used for comparison.

Nowadays E-health cloud systems are more and more widely employed. However the security of these systems needs more consideration due to the sensitive health information of patients. So far, some protocols about secure e-health cloud systems have been proposed, but many of them use the traditional PKI infrastructure to implement cryptographic mechanisms, which is cumbersome as they require every user having and remembering its own public/private keys. Identity based encryption (IBE) is a cryptographic primitive, which uses the identity information of the user (e.g., email address) as the public key. Hence, the public key is implicitly authenticated and the certificate management is greatly simplified. On the other hand, proxy re-encryption is a cryptographic primitive aiming at transforming a ciphertext under the delegator A's into another ciphertext, which can be decrypted by the delegatee B. In this paper, we describe several identity related cryptographic techniques for securing an E-health system, which include new IBE schemes and new identity based proxy re-encryption (IBPRE) schemes. We also prove these schemes' security and give their performance analysis. Our results show that our IBPRE scheme is especially highly efficient for re-encryption, which can be used to achieve cost-effective cloud usage.
