“…Wireless autonomous spanning tree protocol 15 and cascading information retrieval by controlling access with distributed slot assignment 16 are typical protocols. Bangash et al 4 Movassaghi et al 5 Ullah et al 2 Latre et al From the recent research trend, we can find that protocols cannot be classified into any single abovementioned group for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is difficult to classify the protocols into only one of the groups.…”

One of the core technologies of wireless body area networks (WBANs) is the routing technology. For effective routing in WBANs, various network operations such as lifetime extension and energy efficiency are required to be considered. However, the characteristics of the body serve as the most important management elements for stable operation and for guaranteeing effective WBAN management. Therefore, in this study, a routing protocol, even energy consumption and backside routing, is proposed and designed for stable operation of WBANs; it considers even energy consumption for the lifetime extension of the network and the path loss of the node located at the back of the body. For this study, the Mobile-ATTEMPT (M-ATTEMPT) as a recent routing technology is analysed, and an improved algorithm is proposed. Finally, the excellence of the proposed protocol is proved through a variety of experiments. The results show a significant improvement than previous routing technologies in terms of network lifetime, throughput and residual energy.

Health monitoring using biomedical sensors has witnessed significant attention in recent past due to the evolution of a new research area in sensor network known as Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In WBANs, a number of implantable, wearable, and off-body biomedical sensors are utilized to monitor various vital signs of patient’s body for early detection, and medication of grave diseases. In literature, a number of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for WBANs have been suggested for addressing the unique challenges related to reliability, delay, collision and energy in the new research area. The design of MAC protocols is based on multiple access techniques. Understanding the basis of MAC protocol designs for identifying their design objectives in broader perspective, is a quite challenging task. In this context, this paper qualitatively reviews MAC protocols for WBANs. Firstly, 802.15.4 and 802.15.6 based MAC Superframe structures are investigated focusing on design objectives. Secondly, different multiple access techniques such as TDMA, CSMA/CA, Slotted Aloha and Hybrid are explored in terms of design goals. Thirdly, a two-layered taxonomy is presented for MAC protocols. First layer classification is based on multiple access techniques, whereas second layer classification is based on design objectives and characteristics of MAC protocols. Critical and qualitative analysis is carried out for each considered MAC protocol. Comparative study of different MAC protocols is also performed. Finally, some open research challenges in the area are identified with initial research directions.
