“…Hence, several efficient cluster based schemes are proposed for both networks to minimize the power consumption and maximize the network lifetime [7]. While comparing hybrid indirect transmission [8] to power-efficient gathering in sensor information systems [9] and low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) [10], it consumes less amount of energy if the number of nodes are small. However, AnyBody [11] protocol is better than LEACH, as the numbers of clusters remain constant with an increase in the number of nodes, but LEACH does not.…”

“…Among all the routing protocols, the cluster based protocol HIT [8] aims at maximizing the network lifetime, but it does not consider the packet delivery ratio which is an important QoS metric. The second one, AnyBody [11] protocol considers the delivery ratio, but does not consider average delay, mobility and energy consumption.…”

In the present scenario, the term wireless body area network (WBAN) is becoming an integral part of human day to day life due its wide variety of applications, especially in the field of healthcare systems. To design such a reliable body area network system, there are a number of factors to be considered both in hardware and software levels. One of such factors still developing is the design and the analysis of routing protocols in the network layer. Routing protocols are a set of protocols which can identify and maintain the routes in the network so that the data can be exchanged between the nodes efficiently. Hence, routing protocol plays a vital role in the wireless sensor networks for reliable communication between the sensor nodes. In this paper, different routing protocols for body area networks are surveyed and observed that they are affected by factors like energy, network topology, various quality of services (QoS) in the nodes, node temperature, transmission range of nodes, human posture, etc. An evocative taxonomy of protocols is presented such as cluster-based, cross-layered, postural movement based, QoS aware and temperature-aware routing protocols. From the survey, it is found that the selection of a routing protocol is application dependent. For example, the energy efficient protocols like reinforcement learning based routing with QoS support or wireless autonomous spanning tree protocol can be used for daily health monitoring systems due to its high packet delivery ratio. If the system is for in vivo networks, routing algorithm for network of homogeneous and Id-less biomedical sensor nodes or mobility-supporting adaptive threshold-based Thermal-aware energy-efficient multi-hop protocols are the suitable ones. For critical and emergency cases, where accuracy with little delay is the major concern, the protocols like critical data routing, reliability aware routing, data-centric multi objective QoS-aware routing protocol, etc. can be rightly chosen. This entire survey paper can be used by the researchers as a reference for studying various WBAN routing protocols, especially in the field of medical health care systems.

“…Culpepper et al [29,30] have proposed a clusterbased data gathering protocol that reduces the number of direct transmissions to the base station and uses parallel multihop indirect transmissions both within a cluster and among multiple adjacent clusters. The analysis of HIT and HIT m (HIT with multiple clusters) have shown small network delay, high energy efficiency and high network lifetime.…”

Abstract-Recent technological advancements in wireless communication, integrated circuits and Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMs) has enabled miniaturized, lowpower, intelligent, invasive/ non-invasive micro and nanotechnology sensor nodes placed in or on the human body for use in monitoring body function and its immediate environment referred to as Body Area Networks (BANs). BANs face many stringent requirements in terms of delay, power, temperature and network lifetime which need to be taken into serious consideration in the design of different protocols. Since routing protocols play an important role in the overall system performance in terms of delay, power consumption, temperature and so on, a thorough study on existing routing protocols in BANs is necessary. Also, the specific challenges of BANs necessitates the design of new routing protocols specifically designed for BANs. This paper provides a survey of existing routing protocols mainly proposed for BANs. These protocols are further classified into five main categories namely, temperature based, crosslayer, cluster based, cost-effective and QoS-based routing, where each protocol is described under its specified category. Also, comparison among routing protocols in each category is given.

“…Since most wireless networks based devices are battery operated, one of the major challenges for developers is the issue of power limitations. Sometimes they have to guarantee that the device will work for a year or two without changing the battery (Culpepper, Dung, and Moh, 2004). This could include devices such as heart pacemakers (Culpepper, et al 2004).…”
