introduction
What is WBAN?.
What is the benefit of using WBAN( Ali story).
Learn How this Tech work

Figure 1:data follow into integrate in WBAN system[3]

WBAN Stander
Not yet specified.
WBAN application of WPAN (WSN , Zigbee) 802-15

Figure 2: wireless group stander[2]

Arctiture
Three Tire

Figure 3:WBAN architecture[1]

Tire: WBAN Sensor

Consist of intelligent node ( sensing, sampling, processing,
and communicating)
Sensor Arcticture

Figure 4: Sensor node[3]

Example of WBANs
1 ECG(monitoring heart activity)
Figure4:

2 EMG (electromyography)

3 For sensing motion ( activity)

figure5: Example of sensor node[3]

Tire2: Personal server

interface the WBAN sensor nodes through Zigbee or Bluetooth.

Connected with the medical server through mobile telephone
networks (2G, GPRS, 3G) or WLANsInternet
Implemented regularly at cell phone.
Functions:
1-Register type and number sensor node .
2-manages the network channel sharing, time synchronization,
and processing data.
3-Send data to MS

Tire3-Medical server
Function:
1-to authenticate users
2-Save patient data into medical records
3-analyze the data .
4- recognize serious health cases in order to contact
emergency care givers ,
5-forward new instruction to user.

WBAN Layers
?Why layering

Physical Layer
Radio Band
figure6: Radio Band of WBAN [1]

Modulation
Data Rate
table 1:modulation type of WBAN[1]

table 2: data rate of WBAN sensor[1]

Data Link Layer

Data Link Layer
Objective
DLL Responsible for Reliable Transfer of Frames from one node to the
other (no loss, no corruption, no duplication)

MAC
Control access to the shared medium (radio channel)
Avoid interference between transmissions

Data Link Layer

MAC protocol
(CSMA-CA)
use with wireless LAN
simplicity implementation
lower system cost
reliable data transmission
TDMA( Schedule Protocol)
WWAN like (GSM)

Figure 7: CSMA/CA protocol procedure [1]

MAC protocol comparison:

table 3: comparison between TDMA and CSMA/CA

Network Layer
Protocol is IP
network topologies within WBAN
Peer-to-peer communication (WLAN)
Ad-Hoc Routing

Infrastructure (WWAN)
Access point (AP) or base station (BS)

Figure7: Two different network topologies are depicted: (a) ad hoc mode and
(b) infrastructure mode [3].

Transport Layer
Objective
TCP protocol
Reliable (because relate with human health)
Acknowledgment

Application Layer
Data from sensor send as email
Use Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

Summary WBAN Layers

Drawback WBAN
Battery Life
factors affecting the battery life is The radio transmission update period
battery live for months

Security
To make WBAN more security:

Authenticate
Verify
Encrypt
Key Management
FHSS

figure 8: Battery live for WSN [2]

Figure9: FHSS protocol [2]

:Conclusion
WBAN serve patient and Doctor
Improve WBAN to avoided security and interference problem
In future may Build new stander WBAN
In future improve WBAN to use with 4G (WI-MAX)
