The increasing use of wireless networks and the constant miniaturization of electrical devices has empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In these networks various sensors are attached on clothing or on the body or even implanted under the skin. The wireless nature of the network and the wide variety of sensors offer numerous new, practical and innovative applications to improve health care and the Quality of Life. The sensors of a WBAN measure for example the heartbeat, the body temperature or record a prolonged electrocardiogram. Using a WBAN, the patient experiences a greater physical mobility and is no longer compelled to stay in the hospital. This paper offers a survey of the concept of Wireless Body Area Networks. First, we focus on some applications with special interest in patient monitoring. Then the communication in a WBAN and its positioning between the different technologies is discussed. An overview of the current research on the physical layer, existing MAC and network protocols is given. Further, cross layer and quality of service is discussed. As WBANs are placed on the human body and often transport private data, security is also considered. An overview of current and past projects is given. Finally, the open research issues and challenges are pointed out.

“…It is of note mention that none of the papers reviewed in this survey addresses security issues in cross-layer design or in WBAN data management. In [62], the authors propose a security-aware cross-layer protocol with low impact on power consumption called CICADA-S based on CICADA [28]. The authors propose the management of encrypted keys and authentication codes to prevent security issues like packet sniffing or intrusive nodes joining the network, the physical and medium access layers in both medical and non-medical applications.…”

An efficient cross-layer approach should provide schemes to avoid all the aforementioned sources of energy waste by promoting novel trade-offs between layers to enhance the wireless communication process and simultaneously extend the network lifetime. Taxonomy: cross-layer approaches for WBANsIn this section, the different studies are classified by the communication layers involved in each cross-layer strategy. This survey details how each approach works (as described by the authors in the original paper), its main problems and shortcomings that represent open issues for future research, and a critical analysis of the performance results as originally presented by the authors.

“…Also, all communication information in CICADA is sent in plain text instead of being protected and unauthorized nodes are capable of joining the network without authorization. An updated version of CICADA, namely CICADA-S has been designed in [32] to encounter the privacy and security issues that had not been considered in CICADA. CICADA-S has four main states in terms of security: secure initialization phase, sensor (re) joining the BAN, key update procedure within the BAN and a sensor leaving the BAN.…”

Abstract-Recent technological advancements in wireless communication, integrated circuits and Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMs) has enabled miniaturized, lowpower, intelligent, invasive/ non-invasive micro and nanotechnology sensor nodes placed in or on the human body for use in monitoring body function and its immediate environment referred to as Body Area Networks (BANs). BANs face many stringent requirements in terms of delay, power, temperature and network lifetime which need to be taken into serious consideration in the design of different protocols. Since routing protocols play an important role in the overall system performance in terms of delay, power consumption, temperature and so on, a thorough study on existing routing protocols in BANs is necessary. Also, the specific challenges of BANs necessitates the design of new routing protocols specifically designed for BANs. This paper provides a survey of existing routing protocols mainly proposed for BANs. These protocols are further classified into five main categories namely, temperature based, crosslayer, cluster based, cost-effective and QoS-based routing, where each protocol is described under its specified category. Also, comparison among routing protocols in each category is given.
