Continuous remote monitoring of a patient's health condition in dynamic environment imposes many challenges. Challenges further get multiplied based on the size of body area sensor network. One such challenge is energy efficiency of sensors. Maintaining longer life of all nodes, especially who participate in communicating vital signals from one network to another towards the base station is very important. In this work, an energy efficient communication protocol for the wireless body area network (WBAN) is proposed. The essential characteristics of the protocol are: random deployment of nodes, formation of clusters, node with high signal to noise ratio (SNR) as cluster head (CH), random rotation of CHs within each cluster, and so on. The developed algorithm is simulated in MATLAB by varying the number of nodes and networks. Obtained results are compared with some of the recent and most relevant existing works. It is found that there is an enhancement in the network lifetime by 19.5%, throughput by 12.61% and average remaining energy by 57.21%.

The accelerated development of wireless network technology has resulted in the emergence of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), which is a technology commonly used in the medical field. WBAN consists of tiny sensor nodes that interconnect with each other and set in the human body to collect and transmit the patient data to the physician, to monitor the patients remotely. These nodes typically have limited battery energy that led to a shortage of network lifetime. Therefore, energy efficiency is considered one of the most demanding challenges in routing design for WBAN. Many proposed routing mechanisms in WBAN did not cover the source node energy and energy harvesting techniques. Therefore, this study proposes an Efficient Energy Aware Routing (EEAR) mechanism. This paper constructs a path cost function that considers three parameters: residual energy, number of hops to the sink, and the distance between the nodes. Besides, data aggregation with filtration and hybrid energy harvesting technique are used to extend the network lifetime, reduce the network traffic load, and maintain the source node energy. Extensive simulations using MATLAB have been performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanism. EEAR is contrasted with the two latest schemes, called Priority-based Congestion-avoidance Routing Protocol (PCRP) and Energy Efficient Routing Protocol (EERP). The results show the significant performance of the EEAR mechanism in terms of network lifetime, residual energy, network stability, and throughput.

“…The information of MAC and physical layers is utilized by the network layer to construct an energy efficient route path to relay data. In [10], Energy-Efficient Routing protocol for Reliable Data Transmission in WBANs (E-RDT) is presented. It chooses the next hop in a dynamic way based on a benefit function, that takes various parameters into consideration, like the remaining energy, transmission adequacy, accessible bandwidth, and the number of hops to CN.…”

In this paper, we are proposing and validating "mobTHE" protocol that is designed to fill the gap in handling seamless mobile communication for on-body nodes. Therefore, "mobTHE" protocol tackles the dis-connectivity problem resulted from the sensor nodes' mobility while keeping an eye on the network's sustainability in terms of maximum packet throughput, prolonged node lifetime, and low temperature. To provide such a balanced trade-off, we utilize two Coordinator Nodes (CNs), namely, CN1 and CN2. Both of these CNs are working as Serving CN (SCN) to its closest nodes and as Neighbour CN (NCN) to the sensor nodes located far from these CNs, which enable collecting data from different sensor nodes continuously. The challenge here is the synchronization between the two CNs in such a way to optimize network resources via minimizing packet transmission duplication and packet drop rate, which is the main contribution of this paper. We present a novel Handover (HO) mechanism during the sensor node mobility and changing between the two CNs. That HO mechanism is capable of minimizing the redundancy of packets and leading to minimization in the packet drop rate. Considering the worst-case scenario where the sensor node is out of the two CNs range, we exploit two-hops data transmission. Parent Node (PN) is selected "on demand" to carry only the data of the moving node which moves away from both CNs rather than carrying the data of all sensor nodes which conserves the energy of the PN nodes as well as the moving node. The simulation analysis depicted that "mobTHE" protocol outperforms the conventional "THE" and "iM-SIMPLE" protocols in terms of temperature control, WBAN lifetime, throughput, and overall residual energy.
