“…Although, copper antennas have better performance, only specific type of materials such as titanium or platinum should be used for in vivo communications due to their noncorrosive chemistry [5]. When the antennas are placed inside the human body, their electrical dimensions and gains decrease due to high dielectric permittivity and high conductivity of the tissues, respectively [30].…”

“…These vital signs can be collected over a large period of time and physicians are able to perform more reliable analysis using this big data [2] rather than relying on the data recorded in short hospital visits. Furthermore, in vivo-WBAN devices provide patients greater mobility as well as reducing their hospital visits [3]- [5].…”

“…Generally speaking, nodes working in all-transmit monitoring mode produce busy periodic traffic which consumes a mass of communication resource. Transporting these vast quantities of data from the nodes to the coordinator means high cost of energy because communication dominates the energy consumption in such case [1]. In consequence, the lifetime of a node adopting this monitoring mode will be severely shortened.…”

“…Active wireless devices are often proposed for wireless communications in WBAN. These networks are often based on commercial transceivers such as Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4) or Bluetooth devices or WIFI (IEEE 802.11) at 2.45 GHz ISM band [2,3]. An important part of the energy is needed for the transmission.…”
