An overview of the Survey/Review Studies in Wireless Body Area Network

Thanks to the advances in electronics, wireless communications, sensing technology, and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) that have enabled the development of small, low-power sensors and actuators that can be placed on, in, or around the human body. A wireless body area network (WBAN) can be effectively used to deliver the sensory data to a central server or on the body coordinator node, where it can be monitored, stored, and analyzed. In this paper, an overview of the available studies on WBAN that has been done so far.
