The student (Muhammad Dakhil Abd Ali) obtained his master’s degree from the Computer Science Department / University of Technology for his thesis entitled (Proposal to enhance the performance of Wireless Body Area Network for E-Health Application) In this thesis, he discussed both sides, e-health security and energy consumption efficiency for WBAN, he proposed a high-yield, reliable, and energy-efficient protocol for WBAN. A new mechanism has also been proposed to connect the beams to the dock to ensure that all packets sent from the sensor to the gateway device reach and retransmit the packets that were dropped during human movement or the link failure to increase network reliability. Additionally, he proposed a patient data security system by using Blockchain technology to save user data and privacy, and encryption algorithms to secure a data transfer channel between the patient and the e-health service provider. In the WBAN segment, simulation results using Python show that the proposed protocol reduces energy consumption, increases the grid stability period, and increases network throughput which means more packets transported to the sink node which are the primary purpose of monitoring ongoing human physiological activities. That was on Sunday, 29/9/2019 at the discussion hall in the department. The discussion committee consisted of (Dr. Rehab Falih Hassan and Dr. Alaa Kazem Farhan) from the University of Technology / Department of Computer Science and (Dr. Sarab Majeed Hamid) from the University of Baghdad / College of Science and in the presence of the student supervisor (Dr. Soukaina Hassan Hashem).
