“…Lately, the routing problems of WBAN have gained great interest, and many routing protocols are being proposed. There are different types of WBAN routing protocols: cluster-based routing, thermal aware routing, posture-based routing, and QoS (Quality of Service) routing protocols (Qu et al, 2019). Each protocol is designed for different QoS improvements such as improving data delivery, providing fault-tolerant routing, controlling node temperature and so on.…”

The growth of information technology and networking solutions encouraged the deployment of WBSN. It supports the monitoring and control of human conditions towards various issues. However, the security of data transmission and routing plays vital role and to achieve this, different algorithms has been identified. But, the earlier methods are does not produce expected QoS (Quality of Service) parameters. To improve the performance of routing, a novel trust aware light weight routing algorithm (RCP-TLSR (Reputation Completion Privacy Preservation-TLSR) has been proposed. The sensors of wireless body network discover the available routes between the source and destination. The selection of route and the sensor node has been identified according to the RCP measure which has been computed according to the reputation, completion and privacy preservation values. By choosing the routes according to the values of RCP, the method achieves higher performance in routing. On the other side, the data security has been enforced by block level encryption technique which is understandable for the concern sensor nodes. The method improves the performance in security and routing highly.

One of the major applications of sensor networks in the near future will be in the area of biomedical research. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are composed of implanted biosensors for health monitoring and diagnostic purposes. The communication between these sensors is made in a wireless way at the base of the radio waves. The sensors' activity produces heat causing a temperature rise. The high-temperature rise of the sensors for a prolonged period might damage the surrounding tissues. Various routing protocols have been proposed in the literature to remedy this problem. These protocols tried to perform routing based on the SHR algorithm while avoiding hot-spots nodes. However, the energy of sensor nodes located in this shorter path is quickly exhausted and by the way, the whole network lifetime is influenced. In this work, we propose HTTRP, a new routing protocol for WBANs introducing a new route selection mechanism that aims to reduce the overheating of sensors and balance their energy consumption. This mechanism is based on a function that considers the residual energy of sensor nodes and their temperature when choosing the next relay node. The carried out simulation results show that our HTTRP protocol has better performance in terms of network lifetime, charge balancing, temperature rise, and throughput compared to a representative of TARP that is TARA protocol.
