the latency processing that seems to be essential for
emergency situations but in the meantime, it shall exhaust

lifetime of WBAN sensors. On the server-side, the main
challenge is the coverage which is the most essential task for
long-range communication (5G) to connect patients and
doctors, with the medical server. Unfortunately, the
coverage of 5G may drop more often than on 4G networks.

IV. IoT Based WBAN Healthcare architecture 1. Drawbacks of mm-Wave used in WBANs
over 5G wireless link communication.
Like any other technology, mm-Wave has some
disadvantages [33].
Mm-Wave is unlicensed; this will lead to a severe
problem for the coexistence of WBANs based on mm-Wave
with other networks. Furthermore, WBANs may overlap
with another WBAN in congested regions such as schools,
metro stations, cinemas, etc., because of their fast
movement, small network region, and huge density. This
overlapping causes enormous interference results between
