Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) consists of a number of sensor nodes that are attached to the human body, and intended for monitor the human body condition. The WBAN system has several wireless communication modules that are used for sending or exchanging data between sensor nodes and gateway nodes or gateway nodes. There are some factors that are used to decide which communication modules should be implemented on WBAN system, including communication efficiency, distance range, power consumption, and the effect of mobility on QoS. In this study, we analyze the impact of the kinematic movement of sensor nodes on QoS parameter of HC-05 Bluetooth and NRF25L01 communication modules, during sending and receiving process among nodes. We assume that the sensor node and gateway node are attached on the limbs to catch the movement. We use Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as delay, jitter, and packet loss, to analyze the impact of movement on communication modules. Based on the experimental result, it was found that the average value of delay and jitter for booth communication modules was slightly influenced by the speed of the sensor node movement. During the sensor node movement and data transmission, we found that the NRF24L01 module have a lower delay and jitter value than Bluetooth HC-05 module. The percentage of packet loss tends to be stable at 0% value, even though the speed value becomes higher. 188 nature of sensor nodes and gateway nodes, which have limited power resources, the communication module must be energy efficient. Only a small data rate is needed for the data transmission process between sensor nodes and the gateway node. There are a number of communication modules that are widely implemented in WBAN such as Zigbee, Bluetooth, nRF24, etc. [5]. In the previous research, the Zigbee module was used to transmit moment inertia data in the WBAN system, which is used for gait analysis [14]. From the experimental result, the Zigbee module can properly send data within a range of 4 meters. While the power consumption used was quite small. In another study [15], the author compared nRF24, XBee Pro, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication module, which was implemented in The Blind Cane, a guide implemented using Arduino Uno microcontroller module. It collects data from sensor nodes attached on the human body, then forwards the data to the server to be further processed in the monitoring system. In this study, data which have been collected was generated as the results of the movement speed calculation carried out by the sensor node installed on the calf. This information of movement speed will be used to test and analyze the QoS of the protocols and communication modules, that influenced by the kinematic movement.Booth sensor node and gateway node connected wirelessly using a short-range communication module, attached to Arduino Uno board. The reason why we choose the wireless communication was that the foot which was attached a sensor node can be moved freely without any disturbance from the wire...
