Joar: Jaya Based Optimized and Reliable Protocol for Wireless Body Area Network

Abstract

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is most useful network due to its healthcare applications. The reliability is the major issue of concern in WBAN as highly prioritized signals are sent by using this network. The WBAN must cover the maximum body with minimum number of nodes for the efficient processing of the data sensed. This paper discusses a reliable optimized WBAN protocol named as Jaya based Optimized And Reliable protocol (JOAR) which covers the maximum body with minimum nodes and route the data in an efficient manner. The proposed protocol uses the JAYA algorithm for the optimization process. The comparison of the routing protocol with other existing state of art techniques like anthocnet, AODV and DSDV proves its significance.
