摘要：With the rise in population and increase in older people Wireless Body Sensor Networks can prove to be beneficial in providing medical service to people who require continuous monitoring and care. Development in technologies for Wireless Communication has led to sensor nodes which can be worn over the body, implanted and embedded over the body. These are small sized devices which can perform processing on the signals sensed from the human body and then communicate it to required destination where this data can be used for various research purposes or other diagnosis. In the past much of the research work concerned with Body Area Networks deals with the designing of Sensor nodes, miniaturizing the nodes, various protocols related to communication and routing. This paper gives an overview of Wireless Body Sensor Networks, devices used, its architecture, protocol stack, issues, topology, WBSN standard, challenges. Some protocols and security schemes for Wireless Body Sensor Networks have also been discussed.
