An Energy-Efficient Framework for WBAN in Health Care Domain

Abstract

This paper provides the deep detailed information related to the importance of link-aware energy-efficient communication between sensor nodes working in the health care domain. Today, in the modern field of science and technology, wireless sensor networks are playing a vital role in real-life applications including medicine, health care, and disaster management. WBAN applications nowadays are successfully used in medical health care. WBAN application is classified into two subtypes which include wearable WBAN and implantable WBAN. For this reason, the patient health condition can be monitored anywhere and at any time. Mostly, the researchers, in the health care domain, are using latest communication standards including 3G, WiMax, Bluetooth, and Zigbee standards. In this paper, we had proposed an energy-efficient framework (M-DSDV-RMCP routing protocol) for WBAN. The proposed framework is based on the DSDV routing protocol based on the RMCP routing protocol.
