Abstract |
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are envisaged to play crucial role in psychological, medical and non-medical applications. A new communication method was proposed in this paper for the Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). We used the multi-hop algorithm and dynamic scheduling to develop the proposed method, which is known as WBAN-RDS. To this end, we used rounds with variant lengths instead of fixed lengths. On the other hand, if the relay selected for receiving and aggregating the data of other sensors is distanced from the sink, an intermediate relay can be used under special conditions to transmit information to the sink and to be able to transmit the data in a more energy-efficient way. In addition, it is highly important to control the sensor temperature due to the direct contact between the wireless sensors and the human body/tissue. This is because the excessive escalation of sensor temperature damages human tissues, which is one of the pitfalls of WBAN-based health care systems. The proposed design yields a long stability period. The livability of the nodes increased considerably and energy consumption decreased. WBAN-RDS is evaluated through extensive simulations in the NS-2 environment. The simulation results show that WBAN-RDS outperforms other existing solutions in terms of throughput, energy consumption and life time. |
