In today’s environment health care monitoring is very important area of research. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can also be used in various health care applications. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are getting developing interest on account of their appropriateness for extensive variety of medicinal and non-therapeutic applications. In this paper we have reviewed various wireless body are...

Wireless Body Sensors for medical purposes offer valuable contributions to improve patients' healthcare, including diagnosis and/or therapeutics monitoring. Body temperature is a crucial parameter in healthcare diagnosis. In gynecology and obstetrics it is measured at the skin's surface, which is very influenced by the environment. This paper proposes a new intra-body sensor for long-term intra...

The term wireless sensor network is applied broadly to a range of significantly different networking environments. On the other hand there exists a substantial body of research on key establishment in wireless sensor networks, much of which does not pay heed to the variety of different application requirements. We set out a simple framework for classifying wireless sensor networks in terms of t...

Real-time personal health monitoring is gaining new ground with advances in wireless communications. Wireless body area networks (WBANs) provide a means for low-powered sensors, affixed either on the human body or in vivo, to communicate with each other and with external telecommunication networks. The healthcare benefits of WBANs include continuous monitoring of patient vitals, measuring posta...

A wireless network is a type of network where various physical devices (e. g. computer, laptops, PDAs etc) are interconnected with each other using network infrastructure. Owing to wireless medium of data communication, the security risk is potentially high for unauthorized access and intrusion of various malicious programs. The security protocols of wireless network are governed by family of I...

One of the features of wireless sensor networks is that the nodes in this network have limited power sources. Therefore, assessment of energy consumption in these networks is very important. What has been common practice has been the use of traditional simulators to evaluate the energy consumption of the nodes in these networks. Simulators often have problems such as fluctuating output values i...

The exponential rise in wireless communication demands and allied applications have revitalized academia-industries to develop more efficient routing protocols. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) being battery operated network, it often undergoes node death-causing pre-ma...
