  4. Abstract:
  5. Monitoring security and quality of service is essential, due to the rapid growth of the number of nodes in wireless networks. In healthcare/industrial environments, especially in wireless body area networks (WBANs), this is even more important. Because the delays and errors can directly affect patients'/scientists' health. To increase the Monitoring Quality of Services (MQoS) in WBANs, a secure medium access control (MAC) protocol needs to be developed to provide optimal services. This article provides a comprehensive review of MAC protocols in WBANs with a technical security analysis approach. Time-based, contention-based, and hybrid protocols are compared in this article, regarding MQoS and their security vulnerabilities. We have considered delay, packet loss, and energy consumption as performance evaluation criteria in WBANs, which may be degraded under a cyberattack. This work shows that there is a research gap in the literature, which is the failure of covering security and privacy issues in the MAC layer protocols. © 2005-2012 IEEE
