Analysis of energy efficient wireless body area network

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a typical application of sensor network on health care, it consists of many elements related to the body, such as personal terminal, body sensors and network equipment¿s distributed near, on or inside body. BAN can successfully monitor the human body health, it is regarded as one of the vital support techniques that can solve the abruptly accelerated elderly population and medical expense hyperinflation. However, due to the mobile networking WBAN there is an issue in energy efficiency. This study was analyzed proactive and reactive routing protocols by measuring packet delivery ratio, E2E delay, E2E throughput and energy consumption by using NS2 software and simulate them. The study showed that DSR as an Energy Efficient Routing protocols rather than OLSR and TORA.
