DESIGNING HIGH THROUGHPUT ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR WIRELESS BODY AREA NETWORKS

Noor khateeb Ali Khan , Shashank Singh


Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is new emerging sub-field of WSN. A key application of Wireless Body Area Network is health monitoring. Wireless sensors are placed on the human body or implanted in the body to monitor vital signs like blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, glucose level etc. Use of Wireless Body Area Network technology to monitor health parameters significantly reduces the expenditures of patient in hospital. Wireless Body Area Sensors are used to monitor human health with limited energy resources. Different energy efficient routing schemes are used to forward data from body sensors to medical server. It is important that sensed data of patient reliably received to medical specialist for further analysis. To minimize energy consumption and to increase the throughput, we aim to propose a scheme that achieves a longer stability period. Nodes stay alive for longer period and consume minimum energy.
