Abstract
In the modern age, Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) becomes very popular everywhere for monitoring healthcare services remotely. However, the WBAN system has lagged in efficient power consumption till now. As WBAN is formed with several portable devices, low power consumption will ensure battery lifetime. In this paper, an analysis of Transmission Power Control (TPC) over WBAN has been conducted. A ZigBee based WBAN model with different network topologies and data rates has been proposed in the experiment. WBAN data-management technique has been proposed due to reducing more data transmission. Less data transmission reduces overall power consumption. The whole work has been done using OPNET and OMNET++ network simulators. Six sensor nodes have been used with a ZigBee coordinator in the simulation scenario where throughput, load, delay, data traffic, amount of power consumption, packet delivery ratio, etc. have been used as simulation parameters. TPC analysis indicates the power consumptions in different topologies, with different data rates. Several simulation scenarios were run and the results were analyzed in this paper.
Highlights
Through modern-day technology, services and applications, it has become easy to save human lives via providing far better monitoring for health care services
Simulations and results demonstrate the performance of star, mesh, cluster-tree topologies in different performance parameters and those are throughput, delay, load, data traffic sent, data traffic received, packet dropped so that simulation and result part is an important approach to evaluating the work
A new simulation methodology of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) transmission power control analysis has been presented in the paper
Summary
Through modern-day technology, services and applications, it has become easy to save human lives via providing far better monitoring for health care services. This technology can provide a better health care service for the patient’s everyday status, by creating associate increased manner of observation and taking care of patients in their natural setting at their homes or anyplace else in each day’s life. Wireless body area network (WBAN) consists of a variety of sensors that area unit either ingrained within the patient’s body or wearable convenience as an example a monitor watch, to live that person’s health stats. It’s vital to say that, WBAN is taken into account one of the still rising technologies beneath its progress phases associated it’s beneath an early stage of development, and it is expected to be at some point a stable system utilized in the health care applications
