Abstract

Recent advancement in wireless body area network (WBAN) has changed the traditional way of medical system into an individual monitoring approach (patient specific). WBAN can perform several functions like sensing and processing of data based on human physical activity and data transmission. In WBAN, many problems arise between the sensor nodes during communication. One of the major challenges faced in WBAN is thermal effects on sensor nodes. ...
