Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a highly evolved field in communications. WSN consists of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) as one of its special branches. WBAN deals with small sensors deployed on human body to monitor its vitals. Today, the demand to improve the life expectancy among people is rapidly increasing. Detection and diagnosis of diseases becomes an area of utmost importance in this process. This includes real time health monitoring which has given rise to remote patient monitoring. Remote patient monitoring is a huge field of study in modern world which demands patient mobility and the same can be realized using WBAN. This paper gives a brief introduction of WBAN, its architecture, challenges and issues, applications and routing protocols used in WBAN technology. Finally, simulation using MATLAB is carried out and the SIMPLE WBAN routing protocol is found to be more effective based on the parameters under consideration.
