A body sensor network (BSN) is a network of sensors that sense vital signs of a human body.
The vital signs can be divided into two categories based on significance to the life: critical …

Body area networks (BAN) are a specific type of network structure. They are spread over a
very small area and their available power is heavily constrained. Hence it is useful to have …

This paper presents an empirical discussion on the design and implementation of a power-
