E-MHMS: enhanced MAC-based secure delay-aware healthcare monitoring system in WBAN

Chronic patients are adapting to an emerging healthcare system assisted by the wireless body area network (WBAN). Medical data are not normal at all times; hence, the preference for critical data is expected to be high, and the requirement of security has become essential. This paper addresses a novel healthcare monitoring system (HMS) that adopts the IEEE 802.15.6 standard for WBAN. A modified IEEE 802.15.6 MAC is designed for predicting data...
