Survey on WBAN Methodology and its Challenges

Abstract

It has been observed from the last decade that IoT has gained the market. The main enablers of IoT technology being the wireless communication, cloud computing and embedded system has gained attraction in many different areas. The major sector for IoT applications had been military sector, aerospace industry, manufacturing sector, home and automation and not at a neglected one that is the healthcare. Healthcare sector is the place where major requirement of IoT is there. Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) innovations are viewed as one of pulling in look into regions in software engineering. At the point when joined with the medicinal services application, it gives high worth innovation of exhaustive medicinal services checking arrangement in extraordinary circumstances including high height or hazardous situation empowering the ground controller to screen remote pilots or seismic tremor unfortunate casualties progressively by a mix of remote sensors and sensor systems. In previous decades, cell phones have steadily become irreplaceable electronic items in individuals’ day by day life. A cell phone has an assortment of implicit sensors, for example, Wi-Fi, GPS, amplifier, magnetometer, and inertial sensors. This paper focuses on WBAN methodology and its challenges. The 3 layer WBAN schematic tells about the WBAN to be thought for in three different sections viz. intra BAN, extra BAN and storage and analysis.

Keywords: Body sensor node, IoT, WBAN, WBSN.
