“…There are detailed studies of ultrawideband [26][27][28] and ZigBee [29]. Under the physical layer, there are several study topics such as antennas [30,31], sensors [32,33], transmitters [34], and hardware/software (HW/SW) architecture [35]. Localization, security and privacy, and certification relate to the position measurement of sensor nodes [36], to data security [37,38], and to quality assurance [39], respectively, in WBANs.…”

Owing to the increasing interest in the integration of the medical technology and the information and communications technology, research on wireless body area networks (WBANs), which apply a sensor network to the human body, is being actively conducted. Existing sensor network technology has the potential to be used in a WBAN; however, it has some limitations. In particular, a WBAN has a very different network environment compared to a sensor network that uses free space, because wireless sensors in a BAN transmit through parts of the human body. Therefore, research on WBANs involves a variety of research areas that differ slightly from those of conventional sensor networks and take into account the characteristics of the human body. This study investigates the environmental characteristics of a WBAN that differ from conventional sensor networks and examines the areas that have been studied in academia to realize more efficient WBANs. From studies published since 2001, when the concept of the WBAN was introduced, research trends in WBANs were investigated using the systematic literature review (SLR) technique. The investigation in this study includes the classification of research and research fields in line with research content. Further, survey results are presented and the outlook for further study is summarized.

“…Due to the increasing demand for body area networks (BANs), which is a progression from the personal area network concept, and they are networks with nodes normally situated on the human body or in close proximity of it (Working Group), textile antenna is therefore a suitable candidate for BANs. There have been many investigations of wearable antennas (Linz et al, 2011;Klemm and Troester, 2006;Soh et al, 2011) to provide high data rate, low profile and reliable applications, as well as examinations of wearable antennas using different substrates (Soh et al, 2011;Januszkiewicz et al, 2008;Sankaralingam and Gupta, 2010;Osman et al, 2011). In addition to that, wearable antennas have been also used in military applications (Klemm and Troester, 2006), medical applications for supervision of life signs (Linz et al, 2011) and for nursing purposes such as to monitoring either elderly or kids {Rais et al, 2009).…”

This paper reports the performance characteristics of two antennas fabricated on two different types of substrates: polyester and cotton. Two different types of conductive textile materials are used in this work, which are Pure Copper Polyester Taffeta Fabric and Shieldit Super. The performance characteristics include reflection coefficient, radiation pattern and current distribution are examined. The impedance and radiation characteristics of the proposed antennas, as studied by both simulation and experiment, are satisfactory.

“…A variety of textile antennas have been introduced in recent years [2][3][4]. In low/medium data-rate applications, the low-power operation and extremely low radiated power that can be offered by UWB [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] are very attractive for BWCS [13].…”

Abstract-A novel compact textile antenna with the appearance of a button on clothing for body-centric wireless communications systems (BWCS) is presented. The antenna is placed on a textile substrate and fed by a coaxial line through the ground plane. The operating bandwidth of the antenna has met the requirement of the UWB communication system. The effects of the human body on S 11 and S 21 are presented and discussed in detail. The proposed antenna has good omni-directional radiation patterns and stable H-plane radiation patterns. The measured results show that the antenna is suitable for BWCS.
