An Energy Effective WBAN Architecture for Athletes Efforts Analysis under a Common Activity

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is one\udof the most critical real time networks. In order to\udincrease network lifetime, several protocols have been\udproposed in the Literature. Majority of these protocols are\udbased on either coverage or residual energy of the\udnetwork. However, none of the protocols is based on\udnode criticality, communication count, coverage and\udresidual energy. In this paper, we have taken into\udconsideration all the above stated parameters to determine\udthe optimal path for transmission of message. In\udparticular, we are implementing this scenario for Athlete\udActivity Monitoring to identify the athlete with maximum\udphysical stamina. As per best of our knowledge, only\udintra-BAN routing protocols are proposed till date.\udHowever, in this paper we have simulated Athlete\udActivity Monitoring scenario for intra-WBAN and interWBAN\udarchitecture. It is clear from the simulation\udresults that our scheme performs much better in terms of\udenergy consumption than earlier routing schemes
