A Survey on Emerging Research Trends Towards Congesion Control Issues of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs)

In the era of Internet of Things (IoT), the recent advancements of information and communication technologies enables deployment of sensor nodes on our human body. Therefore the present health care scenario enables the dynamic and continuous patient health monitoring by configuring small sensors into patients body. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) are one of the special kinds of networks which have been visualized to be a reality in future for remote healthcare diagnosis and patient health monitoring referring the concept of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The concept of implementing the pervasive and ubiquitous networks needs proper synchronization in between various heterogeneous networks such as
