A Study on Various Issues in Different Layers of WBAN

Abstract

A WBAN Network is one of the most critical real time networks defined with certain restrictions and constraints. The criticalities of this network are because of the environmental contraints, device restrictions and architectural constraints. These criticalities also raise various issues related to network life, reliability and security. In this paper, an exploration to the WBAN layered model is done. Each layer of this model is here defined along with associated issues relative to different network aspects.
