Performance Analysis of Aodv Based Routing Algorithm Inter Wireless Body Area Networks

Abstract

Vital data such as body temperature, heart rhythm and respiration rate are very important in evaluating human health and intervening immediately in possible problems. Various systems can be used to monitor and evaluate these vital and physical data. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), which are widely used in remote health monitoring systems, have been the subject of applications in many areas such as sports, military and interactive games, particularly health. Especially in more intense environments, the coordinator nodes of individuals carrying WBAN equipment can communicate with each other (inter-WBAN), revealing the importance of routing processes. In this study, WBAN communication network was modeled in Riverbed Modeler simulation software. AODV routing protocol has been used in order to reach the targets of data successfully in inter-WBAN communication. The IEEE 802.15.6 protocol was used for intra-WBAN communication and the end-to-end delay, energy consumption and throughput parameters were analyzed for the performance analysis of the proposed system.
