Performance analysis of temperature Influence in wireless body area Networks

Abstract

Nowadays, the advancement in miniaturization of sensor manufacturing newlineand wireless communication paves way to the growth of Wireless Body Area newlineNetworks (WBAN). In today s modern era of WBAN, ubiquitous computing newlinetechnology bought the healthcare system into a new version of personalization. newlineIt enriches the health care system standard by collecting the vital signals from newlinethe human body through continuous monitoring. It diagnoses the disease at the newlineearly stage and deliver timely feedback to patient and care taker. The continuous newlinemonitoring is provided by integrating autonomous intelligent sensor on the newlinehuman body (implantable/wearable). Due to continuous monitoring, the device newlinedesigned should be tiny, flexible and comfortable for the patients to wear and newlinecarry out the daily routine activities without any interruption. The technological newlineupgradation made it possible to manufacture the device with all aforementioned newlinecharacteristics. The device should support heterogeneous sensors which are newlinecapable of executing complex functions with adequate memory and newlinecomputational resources with less power consumption and increased lifetime. newlineThe entire network energy consumption is easily determined by a routing newlineprotocol. Thus, the routing protocol plays an important role in WBAN to make newlinethe data to reach destination with minimum energy, less temperature and newlinereduced delay. But it is difficult to attain Quality of Service (QoS) because of newlinevarying network topology and bandwidth requirements. The main objective of newlinethis research work is to design a routing protocol by including all the newlinecharacteristics along with the network constraints to achieve the extended newlinelifetime of sensor and entire network. The designed routing algorithms can be newlineincorporated into emerging technologies like personal digital assistant, mobile newlinephone, health care applications and environmental monitoring etc. newline
