Technical Issues and Challenges in Building Human Body Sensor Networks

Abstract

In this research work, an exploration is done for identification ofcritical technical issues, problems, challenges in area of wireless bodynetwork sensors, which are continuous emerging as integral part ofhealth monitoring systems. All this is possible due to the concept of`Internet of Things' {[}5], in which day to day consumer devices,equipment are connected onto the network enabling information gatheringand management of many vital signals. The first section givesintroduction to wireless network developments in recent context, andthen it is followed by discussion on existing work done in context ofphysical, Media access control and other aspects like energy consumptionand security of such systems. The tabular summary on the gaps,limitations of Wireless body area network is done and based on thiswork; future directions are also suggested. Care has been taken tosolicit high impact general paper for conducting this systematic study.
