Technical Issues and Challenges in Building Human Body Sensor Networks

In this research work, an exploration is done for identification of critical technical issues, problems, challenges in area of wireless body network sensors, which are continuous emerging as integral part of health 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 gathering and management of many vital signals. The first section gives introduction to wireless network developments in recent context, and then it is followed by discussion on existing work done in context of physical, Media access control and other aspects like energy consumption and security of such systems. The tabular summary on the gaps, limitations of Wireless body area network is done and based on this work; future directions are also suggested. Care has been taken to solicit high impact general paper for conducting this systematic study.
