Summary Wireless body area network (WBAN) plays an important role in patient health care. The performance of this WBAN system is affected by link failures due to the presence of malicious sensor nodes. Hence, the detection and mitigation of this link failure is important for improving the efficiency of the WBAN system. This paper proposes a methodology for link failure detection using weight metric approach. The performance of the proposed methodology is analyzed in terms of packet delivery ratio (PDR), link failure detection latency, and link failure detection rate.

“…In fact, the aforementioned receiver was designed specifically for communication between the nodes on a prosthetic limb [ 2 ] and trades sensitivity for power consumption and FDMA capability. In cases where higher path losses are expected and the number of nodes is smaller, such as in [ 15 ], a different receiver would be more optimal.…”

The Frequency Modulated Ultra-Wideband (FM-UWB) is known as a low-power, low-complexity modulation scheme targeting low to moderate data rates in applications such as wireless body area networks. In this paper, a thorough review of all FM-UWB receivers and transmitters reported in literature is presented. The emphasis is on trends in power reduction that exhibit an improvement by a factor 20 over the past eight years, showing the high potential of FM-UWB. The main architectural and circuit techniques that have led to this improvement are highlighted. Seldom explored potential of using higher data rates and more complex modulations is demonstrated as a way to increase energy efficiency of FM-UWB. Multi-user communication over a single Radio Frequency (RF) channel is explored in more depth and multi-channel transmission is proposed as an extension of standard FM-UWB. The two techniques provide means of decreasing network latency, improving performance, and allow the FM-UWB to accommodate the increasing number of sensor nodes in the emerging applications such as High-Density Wireless Sensor Networks.

“…In the first type of WBAN, sensor nodes are placed inside the body, whereas in the latter, sensors node are placed on the surface of body (Chen et al, 2010). Similarly, there are two ways in which data is transferred between these sensor nodes and coordinator, i.e., Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point (Sipal et al, 2015). In first type, data transfer takes place between any two sensors nodes on the body, whereas in Multipoint-to-Point, data from different sensor nodes are transferred through the same sink, i.e., a coordinator forwards the data to a server located outside the body.…”

Due to the recent advancements in the field of wireless communication and Wireless Sensor Networks, the Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have become an area of concern for researchers. In military operations, patient monitoring, sports field, among other wireless body area networks is used for real time monitoring and smart sensing for eHealth operations.In these WBAN, disconnections between the body sensors occur quite often and sometimes of significant duration due to the postural mobility nature of the human. These consequently affects the efficiency of the entire network hence the need for Delay Tolerant Network (DTN). The DTN minimizes delays and adapts itself to cope with long delays if they occur. One of the vital mechanisms that can be employed to enhance the efficiency of the network is to determine the optimal postural locality of the sink node.
