Abstract
Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) plays an important role in many health related applications by transmitting patients data to central database of hospital. So, routing of data is an important part of WBAN. As WBAN has unique features and requirements, there are crucial issues like Quality of service (QoS), path loss, temperature rise, energy efficiency and network lifetime etc. which are needed to be considering while designing routing protocol. To overcome those issues, we propose hybrid routing protocol which support all WBAN data packets such as delay sensitive data (DSD), normal data (ND), critical data (CD) and reliability sensitive data (RSD) packets. For simplicity in classifying these data packets, we design new data classifier which takes minimum time for classification in order to improve network lifetime. While selecting the next hop we also consider route which have high link quality and low path temperature to solve issue of path loss and temperature rise respectively. NS-2 Simulator has been used for simulation of the proposed protocol.
