With the advances in small and low-cost radio transceivers and RF front-ends development, the possibility of applying ubiquitous and non-invasive sensors integrated into user’s daily clothing and living activities seems more feasible. The ability to share data increases the usefulness of personal information devices, providing features not possible with independent isolated devices. Current wireless sensor solutions are limited in that they do not provide the means to overcome obstacles and shadowing of propagating radio waves. Thus for reliable communications an increase in power consumption is required, reducing battery life. This book addresses the limitations outlined above by designing efficient and compact antenna systems. These systems will be cooperative and also aware of the surrounding environment and neighboring units, providing efficient and low power wireless connectivity for personal area network (PAN) and body area network (BAN) applications. Analysis of wearable antenna design and performance Addresses the Influence of body-worn antennas on radio channels and radio device performance from a power and error rate perspective. Cooperative networking principles applied to body area networks, showing the pros and cons of such concepts Real life case scenarios using ECG sample signals for potential application to healthcare monitoring.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has become an important field of research that could provide cost effective solution for ubiquitous health care monitoring of human body. In recent past, it has attracted attention from several researchers due to its potential applications in various disciplines including health care, sports-medicine, entertainment, etc. It is rapidly replacing wired counterparts due to its several attractive features such as light-weight easy portability, support for real time remote monitoring, ease of use, etc. Users of WBANs are increasing exponentially as more people are embracing wearable monitoring devices for numerous health care causes. Interference is considered to be one of the major issues in WBANs, which arises primarily due to close proximity of other WBANs, random human mobility, and distributed nature of people carrying WBANs. Coexisting WBANs have great chance of interference, which might degrade the network performance. If left unchecked, interference can cause serious threat to reliable operation of the network. It could cause to loss of critical medical data of patients, which might even prove to be life threatening. The primary motivation behind this dissertation is to avoid such a situation by using various interference mitigation techniques. Graceful coexistence could be ensured by scheduling the transmissions between co-existing WBANs. MAC layer is responsible for scheduling data transmissions and coordinating nodes' channel access that avoids possible collisions during data transmissions. In this dissertation, we have attempted to address intra-WBAN and inter-WBAN interference issues. We model a fuzzy logic based inference engine to make decisions while scheduling transmissions in isolated WBANs. For coexisting WBANs, due to its distributed nature and lack of central coordinator, we propose a QoS based MAC scheduling approach that avoids inter-WBAN interference. Our proposed MAC scheduling scheme can be used for improving network performance, which is also confirmed from the results. We also discuss one of the important challenges in modeling such a MAC schemes, which is random human mobility. In this dissertation we also discuss leveraging big data technology for healthcare. The use of wearable devices is growing tremendously so is the data generated from it. In order to efficiently convert this big data into a useful resource of information, which can be used for diagnosis or prognosis, a need for distributed parallel framework arises. Using the latest big data solutions we can efficiently store and process the healthcare sensor data. This offers a cheaper, reliable and faster computation as compared to traditional database management systems. Various analytic methods for clinical prediction can be used with this framework to enable automated learning and accurate prediction. We discuss in this dissertation, the emerging technologies for WBAN such as implant medical sensor devices and the communication standards associated with them. The emerging technologies Near field communication and Beacon can be harnessed to develop a smart medicine management mobile application. We conclude this dissertation by identifying future directions on data security in WBANs and implementation of personalized medicine.

Most of the population in America suffers from chronic diseases that require constant medical supervision; America today is plagued by the national crisis of inadequate and expensive healthcare. Timothy Wirth, President of United Nations Foundation with regards to mHealth and Mobile Telemedicine Conference in 2008 was quoted saying "Modern telecommunications and the creative use of it has the power to change lives and help solve some of the world's biggest healthcare challenges, mainly access and affordability." To that extent, this thesis introduces the architecture of a multi-tier telemedicine system comprised of strategically placed bio-sensors on a human body (thereby forming a Wireless Body Area Network or WBAN), capable of collecting vital medical statistics such as heart rate and blood pressure. The data collected will be transmitted wirelessly to a personal wireless hand-held device akin to a cell phone. Data will be further transmitted to a medical server designed to store a patient's medical record at a caregiver's location either through multiple wireless technologies or through wires or both thus guaranteeing ubiquity, mobility and personalization of service thereby taking telemedicine (often defined as "medicine at a distance") from the desktop to "roaming". However, fundamental wireless networking issues must be addressed and resolved before this dream can be realized. Generic approaches to prolong network life in a wireless sensor nodes involves techniques like over provisioning-an approach inapplicable of application to sensors in a BAN where extra sensors might not be implanted on a human body. Furthermore, critical biological data should be given the highest Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantee. Moreover, when critical biological data -- referred to in the thesis as "Emergency Date or ED"--Compete for network resources with not-so-critical biological data - referred to in the thesis as "Non Emergency Date or NED"--of some other sensor of the same BAN, appropriate priority assignment and scheduling schemes are required to make the application fruitful. However, issues, concerns, and requirements inherent to the telemedicine application have not received adequate attention. This thesis aims to research two fundamental Medium Access Control (MAC) functionalities: (a) energy efficiency and (b) Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees in terms of traffic prioritization and scheduling, tailor made for a personalized, mobile, and ubiquitous telemedicine application. This thesis proposes a novel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol which guarantees the timely delivery of critical Emergency Data(ED) without sabotaging the throughput requirement of Non-Emergency Data (NED). Moreover the protocol also takes into account the desired feature of minimal energy consumption of the bio-sensors. The MAC layer protocol is developed and tested on the network simulation platform -- NS2. The performance of our MAC in terms of throughput, delay constraint adherence and energy efficiency is compared with another popular IEEE standard MAC -- 802.15.4. We chose IEEE 802.15.4 as our benchmark because existing research on WBANs have championed IEEE 802.15.4 as the most appropriate technology for a WBAN application. Simulation results and performance analysis and comparison demonstrates that our protocol is better suited for the purpose of WBAN applications when compared to IEEE 802.15.4.

The market of wearable wireless medical sensors is experiencing a rapid growth and the associated telecommunications services for the healthcare sector are forecast to further increase in the next years. Medical body area networks (MBANs) allow the mobility of patients and medical personnel by facilitating the remote monitoring of patients suffering from chronic or risky diseases. Currently, MBANs are being introduced in unlicensed frequency bands, where the risk of mutual interference with other electronic devices radiating in the same band can be high. Thus, coexistence is an issue on which the research scientists have dedicated much effort. Ultra wideband (UWB) signals offer many advantages to MBANs, and some features of this technology can be exploited for effective implementation of services. UWB can help in several aspects, like spectrum efficiency, energy consumption and coexistence. This book discusses the main aspects, and, in particular, the coexistence, of MBANs based on the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard using UWB physical layer. A exhaustive description of body area networks using IEEE802.15.4 technologies, providing an in-depth understanding of how the overall system works Provides understanding and insight on the use of ultra wide band technologies for the physical layer of body area networks; low power consumption and coexistence are investigated Includes services, methodologies and results related to link-level and system-level evaluations of body area networks
