A Hybrid Security Mechanism for Intra-WBAN and Inter-WBAN Communications [PDF]
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2013 The emerging wireless body area networks (WBANs) have a great potential for the growth and development of future ubiquitous healthcare systems. However, due to the use of unreliable wireless media, WBANs are exposed to a variety of attacks. The prevention of these attacks depends upon the cryptographic techniques. The strength of cryptography is based

A Prediction Algorithm for Coexistence Problem in Multiple-WBAN Environment
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2015 The coexistence problem occurs when a single wireless body area network (WBAN) is located within a multiple-WBAN environment. This causes WBANs to suffer from severe channel interference that degrades the communication performance of each WBAN.

FIFO Order reliable convergecast in WBAN [PDF]
Computer Networks, 2018 This paper is the first extensive work on FIFO order reliable convergecast in multi-hop Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). Convergecast is a many-to-one cooperative scheme where each node of the network transmits data towards the same sink. In critical application of WBAN such as medical, packets loss or inversion have an important impact at the ...
