Wireless body area network (WBAN) is an emerging technology that has enormous potentials for continuous health monitoring of various diseases. For different medical and healthcare applications, the collected physiological data from multiple WBANs are further transmitted to the remote medical cloud servers. However, several technical issues and challenges are associated with the integration of WBANs and cloud computing services. In this study, we develop a new cloud-assisted WBAN control scheme to effectively use the limited system resource. By employing the main ideas of Generalized Gini and Choquet bargaining solutions, our approach unfolds into dual stages of bargaining processes while increasing the flexibility and adaptability. In particular, we consider the unique features of cloud-assisted WBAN applications and provide a generalized fair-efficient solution for the resource allocation problem. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that we can verify the superiority of our proposed scheme over the existing protocols. Lastly, major further challenges and future research directions about the cloud-assisted WBAN paradigm are summarized and discussed.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) being a sub-domain of wireless sensor network (WSN) is a new emerging technology for healthcare applications. A WBAN consists of low-power tiny wireless nodes placed on or around the human body that continuously observe vital health signs of a patient. These sensors are capable of sending information of physiological parameters taken from human body to other devices for diagnosis procedures and prescription. WBAN provides ubiquitous healthcare services and enables greater mobility without restricting human normal activities, as the medical personnel can observe the patient health conditions based on the data received through the wireless network. This research work provides a WBAN based healthcare monitoring system that can provide the electrocardiogram (ECG), heartbeat, and human body temperature information. The wireless transmission of the received data from human body is performed by using Zigbee IEEE802.15.4 communication standard. The physiological data will be communicated to remote medical server where data is stored and analyzed. In case any disease is diagnosed, medical personnel can provide immediate assistance to the patients.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a collection of miniaturized sensing nodes and coordinator nodes. These sensing nodes are placed in, on and around the body for uninterrupted monitoring of physiological data for medical applications. The main application carrier of WBAN is the human body and due to human body movement and physiological changes, the WBAN traffic fluctuates greatly. This network traffic fluctuation requires good network adaptability. In addition to traffic fluctuations, energy consumption is another key problem with WBANs as sensing nodes are very small in size. This paper design a reliable protocol by extending the MAC protocol for reducing energy consumption, PAP algorithm to decide data transmission rate and JOAR algorithm to select the optimize path for the data transmission. The performance of the algorithm outperforms other state of art algorithms to shows its significance.

Abstract We propose in this paper a reduction in the size of wearable antennas on silicon (Si) for medicinal frameworks and Internet of things (IoT). This research also introduces one more type of dynamic patch antenna designed in favor of speech-enhanced healthcare applications. The most significant impediment to the adoption of smart correspondence and medical services frameworks is voice-enabled IoT. The primary objective of a body area network (BAN) is to give ceaselessly clinical information to the doctors. Actually wireless body area network is flexible, dense, trivial and less expensive. On the other hand the main disadvantage is low efficiency for small printed antenna. Microstrip silicon antenna recurrence is changed because of ecological conditions, distinctive reception apparatus areas and diverse framework activity modes. By using tunable antenna the efficiency of bandwidth usage can be increased. Amplifiers are associated with the feed line of antenna in order to build its dynamic range. In this study, a dynamic polarized antenna is constructed, analysed and attempted for fabrication. The gain of the antenna is 13 ± 2dB for the frequency range of 390 to 610MHz. The output of the polarized antenna is roughly 19 dBm. At different environmental conditions the performance and ability to control the antenna could vary. To achieve stable performance, we have used varactor diode and voltage controlled diode. This silicon wearable antenna can be fabricated and tested for many medical applications like health monitoring system, pacemakers etc. Furthermore, Micromachining techniques can be used to lower the practical dielectric constant of Silicon and hence improve radiation efficiency.

Distributed Sensors

The phenomenal advances in electronics contributed to a widespread use of distributed sensors in wireless communications. A set of biosensors can be deployed or implanted in the human body to form a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), where various WBAN PHY layers are utilized. The WBAN allows the measurement of physiological data, which is forwarded by the gateway to the base station for analysis purposes. The main issue in conceiving a WBAN communication mechanism is to manage the residual energy of sensors. The mobile agent system has been widely applied for surveillance applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). It consists in dispatching one or more mobile agents simultaneously to collect data, while following a predetermined optimum itinerary. The continuous use of the optimal itinerary leads to a rapid depletion of sensor nodes batteries, which minimizes the network lifetime. This paper presents a new algorithm to equalize the energy consumption among sensor motes. The algorithm exploits all the available paths towards the destination and classifies them with respect to the end-to-end delay and the overall energy consumption. The proposed algorithm performs better compared to the optimal routing path. It increases the network lifetime to the maximum by postponing routing of data via the most-recently used path, and it also maintains data delivery within the delay interval threshold.

Outsourced Decryption

Wireless body area network includes some tiny wearable sensors for monitoring the physiological data of user, which has been a promising method of promoting the quality and efficiency greatly in healthcare. The collected physical signs are aggregated into the medical documents and uploaded to cloud server for utilizing by the remote user. As these files are highly sensitive privacy data, there is a vital challenge that constructs a secure and efficient communication architecture in this application scenario. Based on this standpoint, we present a lightweight verifiability ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption protocol with outsourced decryption in this article. Specifically, our construction enjoys the following six features: (1) Although the outsourced decryption enables to save the computation overhead of the data user sharply in an attribute-based encryption scheme, the ciphertext is out of control and the correctness cannot be guaranteed by the data owner. The proposal provides the verifiability of ciphertext that ensures the user to check the correctness efficiently. (2) The size of the ciphertext is constant that is not increased with the complexity of attribute and access structure. (3) For Internet of Things devices, it introduces the fog computing into our protocol for the purpose of low latency and relation interactions, which has virtually saved the bandwidth. (4) With the help of blockchain technique, we encapsulate the hash value of public parameter, original and transformed ciphertext and transformed key into a block, so that the tamper-resistance is facilitated against an adversary from inside and outside the system. (5) In the standard model, we prove that it is selectively chosen-plaintext attack-secure and verifiable provided that the computational bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption holds. (6) It implements this protocol and shows the result of performance measurement, which indicates a significant reduction on communication and computation costs burden on every entity in wireless body area network.
