摘要： With promising applications in e-health and entertainment, wireless body area networks (WBANs) have attracted the interest of both academia and industry. If WBANs are densely deployed within a small area, serious problems may arise between the WBANs. In this paper, we discuss issues related to the coexistence of WBANs and investigate the main factors that cause inter-WBAN interference. We survey inter-WBAN interference mitigation strategies and track recent research developments. We also discuss unresolved issues related to inter-WBAN interference mitigation and propose future research directions.

Abstract: With promising applications in e-health and entertainment, wireless body area networks (WBANs) have attracted the interest of both academia and industry. If WBANs are densely deployed within a small area, serious problems may arise between the WBANs. In this paper, we discuss issues related to the coexistence of WBANs and investigate the main factors that cause inter-WBAN interference. We survey inter-WBAN interference mitigation strategies and track recent research developments. We also discuss unresolved issues related to inter-WBAN interference mitigation and propose future research directions.
