“…Six properties that a WBAN should exhibit in order to be deemed dependable are mentioned in [54]: Reliability, availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity, and maintainability. In [27], all potential failures for an undependable WBAN are identified, along with their causes, effects and possible recoveries.…”

We provide a comprehensive review of the challenges and emerging technologies for WBANs: Wireless Body Area Networks. We describe leading applications and the tiers of the WBAN architectures, itemizing their major design areas. A succinct review of solutions, progress and possible future research in the areas of sensors, power and radio hardware components, the network stack, localization and mobility techniques, security and privacy, and of certification and standardization follows. We finally make the connection between WBANs and the fast growing research field of Cognitive Radios, which help establish efficient wireless transmissions in an increasingly crowded radio spectrum.

“…SNs and MN are belonging to a user which makes an attacker unable to easily tamper those nodes. In addition, the small radius in which IbC operates in (∼2m) facilitates security and privacy [12]. Nevertheless, EbC is transported over the Internet which makes security threats more important.…”

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is an emerging research field particularly in the area of remote health monitoring. For the simple reason that health data are private and sensitive information, securing access and data transmission within a WBAN becomes a critical need. Using certificates requires deploying Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Certification Authorities (CA) and their management (control the generation, transmission and revocation) is a cumbersome task unlike identity-based cryptography concept. Considering the heterogeneity between participating tiers in the network, we propose in this paper a hybrid authentication and key agreement scheme where symmetric cryptography is used in sensor/actuator nodes while identity-based cryptography concept is used between smartphone (MN) and the storage site (SS). We present two protocols to authenticate and establish pairwise and group keys between all tiers and to provide a public and private keys for MNs.

“…Many projects are also working on WBAN, e.g., MobiHealth [4]. Reliability is one of the major aspects of a WBAN, especially in medical applications [5]. The medical staff may receive critical information about the patient with a delay or in worst cases, no information may be received [5].…”

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a modern technology having a wide range of possible applications. The development scope of WBANs can diverse from hardware and applications design to network performance optimization. Reliability is a vital performance factor in WBANs. Body shadowing, environmental interference and inefficient routing can make a WBAN unreliable, which may severely affect the patient under observation. However, an opportunistic routing technique can improve the reliability via multihops by using opportunistic relays. We investigate the performance of opportunistic routing with two different path loss models for wearable WBANs, i.e., Log-normal path loss model and IEEE 802.15.6 Channel Model (CM) 3A. The performance metrics for the analysis include network lifetime, Packet Loss Probability (PLP), end-to-end (ETE) delay, and energy used per data packet. By using opportunistic routing with IEEE 802.15.6 CM 3A in comparison to Log-normal path loss model, reliability and energy efficiency are improved up to 16% and 25% respectively. Index Terms-Wireless Body Area Network, Opportunistic routing, Relay selection, Reliability, Log-normal path loss model, IEEE 802.15.6 Channel Model 3A.
