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.
Highlights
The health care applications, related to wireless sensor networks, focus on the improvement of medical facilities especially for elderly people living at home
The Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBAN) applications are responsible for monitoring health care of patients by using lightweight sensors mounted on the human body
It has been observed that the performance of the M-destination-sequenced distance vector (DSDV)-RMCP protocol is better than the DSDV and RMCP routing protocols due to the maximum no. of packets transmitted from the source node to the sink node
Summary
The health care applications, related to wireless sensor networks, focus on the improvement of medical facilities especially for elderly people living at home. In pervasive health care systems, different medical applications had been designed for remote patient monitoring [1]. These most common applications used nowadays includes Mobi Health, Code Blue, Alarm Net, Life Guard, Med. Supervision, WLAN ECG, Mobile ECG, and AWARENESS [2, 3]. The WBAN applications are responsible for monitoring health care of patients by using lightweight sensors mounted on the human body. Tier-2 consists of the interbody sensor network communication module referred to as the access point. Tier-3 consists of the beyond body network communication-based infrastructure This module is responsible for transferring data from Tier-2 (access point) to Tier-3. Tier-3 consists of the data management unit for analysis and intelligent decision-making by doctors and emergency rescue staff at hospital located within Tier-4 [5]
