Wireless Body Area Networks are gaining popularity in healthcare applications due to recent advances in sensor technology, integrated circuits, and wireless communication. These systems need to ensure that data is protected during collection, transmission, processing and storage. Currently, no complete solution exists for ensuring data is protected while also meeting regulatory security requirements for wireless body area network applications. To develop effective solutions, it is necessary to explore the attacks and security requirements of wireless body area network applications. There is no comprehensive list of attacks and security requirements. This paper will present a systematic literature review of potential attacks and security requirements for ensuring data security in wireless body area networks.

Today’s Wireless Body Area Networks technology augmented the wireless sensors communication more smart in the e-health line. With this sensors deployment prominent body parameters simply monitored remotely and the corresponding data is stored and transmitted the same for treatment purpose to the e-healthcare destination. Primarily Wireless Body Area Networks health care service is deliberately used in telemedicine, mobile health, elderly care, to monitor the chronic diseases and in emergency cases- the medical rehabilitations provided immediately without delay to the respective patient by the medical professional through internet service. As the demand of Wireless Body Area Networks e-health service increases, its ability is further enhanced once it is provided with more security and privacy to the enabled user’s data with more integrity, confidentiality, availability features. Wireless Body Area Networks makes the people to improve their quality of life provided with affordable cost and flexibility in usage having minimum operation of events. Researcher’s shows an interest over the past years in e-health care services adaptability and concerns more on real-world complications. This survey paper mainly focuses on the conceptual structure of Wireless Body Area Networks communication, security and privacy issues, and allocated frequency bands.

In this paper, a meandered loop antenna, useful for medical cardiac monitoring application, more specifically, for heart beating close scrutiny is designed and experimentally tested. The proposed antenna is operating at the MICS band displays a high flexibility which allowing it to be curved easily around the heart's wall. In both, Simulation and measured results the antenna shows a sensitive nature any change introduced in heart's model size and would certainly bring about a noticeable shift in the antenna's resonant frequency. Linking the frequency variations taking place in concord with the heart movement turns out to stand as an effective key that provides extremely valuable information about the heart's activities. A correspondence between the obtained frequency variation linking with the change in size of the heart. In addition to the frequency response evaluation, the antenna characteristically displays an omni‐directional radiation pattern, which necessarily fits it for in‐body operation.
