Abstract :
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) also referred to as a body sensor network (BSN), is a set of wearable and implantable devices capable of sensing vital signs such as body temperature, heart rate, blood glucose levels and other parameters, it is also used in gaming and human computer as a non-medical applications. This paper presents a comparative study of IEEE 802.15.6 and IEEE 804.15.4 in order to analyze the performance of each standard in terms of delay, throughput and energy consumption.
