Energy Consumption Using Network Stability And Multi-hop Protocol For Link Efficiency in Wireless Body Area Networks

In this paper, we propose a minimum, power efficient and max throughput routing protocol for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). We use multi-hop topology to achieve minimum energy consumption and longer network lifetime. We propose a cost function to select forwarder node. Proposed cost function selects a forwarder node which has high residual energy and minimum distance to sink. Residual energy parameter balances the energy consumption among the sensor nodes while distance parameter ensures successful packet delivery to sink. Simulation results show that our proposed protocols maximize the network stability period and nodes stay alive for longer period. Longer stability period contributes high packet delivery to sink which is major interest for continuous patient monitoring.
