Semantic Wireless Body Area Networks

2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008
In this paper we introduce the concept of semantic Wireless Body Area Network (sWBAN). First the method for semantic interpretation of body sensor data is developed. This method is then illustrated for the case of ECG monitoring, providing the user with real-time monitoring and interpretation of heart activity.

Broadcast Strategies in Wireless Body Area Networks

Proceedings of the 18th ACM International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems, 2015
The rapid advances in sensors and ultra-low power wireless communication has enabled a new generation of wireless sensor networks: Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). To the best of our knowledge the current paper is the first to address broadcast in WBAN.

Wireless Body Area Network

International Journal of Reliable and Quality E-Healthcare, 2013
The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) promises a great revolution in the field of electronic health technology in the future. These types of networks are, in fact, collections of low-priced small sensors with low voltage and computational power as well as insufficient energy capacitors which are located on the human body.

Wireless body area networks: a comprehensive survey

Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 2020
Current progress in technology, especially wireless body area network (WBAN) became one of the enabling technologies that provide many successful applications in non-medical or medical field. WBAN is a communication standard optimised for low power devices and operation on, in or around the human body, to monitor the human health issues and route the ...

Alarms management in wireless body area networks

2013 ACS International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA), 2013
Using wireless body sensors in medical field is becoming an efficient, low cost and non invasive way for continuously monitoring patients' vital signs. New MAC protocols have to be designed to handle the intrinsic constraints of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) especially insuring low latency for alarms management and high reliability. In this paper,

Improving the reliability of wireless body area networks

2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011
In this paper we propose a highly reliable wireless body area network (WBAN) that provides increased throughput and avoids single points of failure. Such networks improve upon current WBANs by taking advantage of a new technology, Cooperative Network Coding (CNC).

Cloud-assisted Wireless Body Area Networks

Information Sciences, 2014
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have emerged as a promising technology for medical and non-medical applications. WBANs consist of a number of miniaturized, portable, and autonomous sensor nodes that are used for long-term health monitoring of patients.

Mobile Middleware for Wireless Body Area Network

2010 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2010
This paper presents a flexible, efficient and lightweight Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) Middleware. The Middleware is developed to bridge the communication between mobile device as a gateway and the sensor nodes, and therefore it shields the underlying sensor and OS/protocol stack away from the WBAN application layer. The middleware is coded in the

Raptor codes in wireless body area networks

2011 IEEE 22nd International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, 2011
The use of wireless body area networks requires correct delivery of the vital signs of the patient while managing precious energy in tiny biosensors. Toward these goals, we present an energy-efficient protocol suitable for the narrow band physical layer of the IEEE 802.15.6 standard in on-body sensor networks.

A slot assignment for Wireless Body Area Networks

2014 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC), 2014
This study presents a dynamic slot assignment for tasks executed over Wireless Body Area Networks. We consider tasks which have timing constraints for their execution. and different priorities. They are usually repeated periodically. In this study we propose an algorithm which is able to provide a dynamic scheduling procedure for all tasks.
