Ad-hoc network routing protocols for wireless body area network

Abstract

Recent years have seen a huge growth in Wireless body area network (WBAN) for monitoring human health, for processing and transmission of data and information. In WBAN tiny sensors are attached on the human body that monitor different parameters of the body and then send data further to the hospital server with the help of internet. This technology will make the human life more healthy and cheerful. WBAN faces many stringent problems in phases of delay, power, temperature and community lifetime which need to be taken into intention inside the design of various routing protocols. These routing protocol play a critical position in the general system performance in phases of delay like energy consumption, and temperature. WBAN is vital in radical look at on existing routing protocols. Mainly this paper contributes to review existing Ad-Hoc routing protocols. This paper also provides an overview on WBAN in health care, architecture of WBAN, non-medical and medical application and discussion about ad-hoc network routing protocol for WBAN.
