Analysis and Comparison of WSN Routing Protocols Oriented to WBAN

Abstract:

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) can implement the wireless communication between several micro-sensor units, so as to meet demand of medical remote monitoring, disease control, disease prevention and others. In this paper, we will analysis in-depth of some characteristics of three routing protocols commonly used in wireless sensor network, including energy consumption, transmission rate, network stability and unexpected resilience of communication. There are also some statements for both the strengths and weaknesses of each protocol and the improvement advices, finally according to the characteristics of each protocol to analyze the respective applicable WBAN types. By improving the routing protocols, WBAN can provide more practical and beneficial applications in the medical, entertainment and other fields, thereby the popularity of it will be improved.
