Abstract


This research presented the development of an Improved Energy-Based Temperature Aware Routing Protocol (IE-TARP) for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) that considers the nodes current energy level, number of hops, current temperature and expected temperature rise as metrics for efficient choice of route. During communication in WBAN, increase in packet injection rate increases the temperature of nodes which leads to the reduction of packet delivery and low network lifetime because high temperature nodes are not considered for routing as they damage body tissue and reduce the performance of WBAN. In this research work, a routing protocol for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) was developed which is Improved Energy Temperature Aware Routing Protocol (IE-TARP) to enhance WBAN performance using Packet Delivery Ratio, Network Lifetime and End-to-End delay as performance metrics. A WBAN consisting of 20 nodes was simulated using MATLAB to test the efficiency of the developed scheme (IE-TARP) in comparison with Hotspot Preventive Routing (HPR) protocol and Enhanced Temperature Aware Routing Protocol (ETARP) with the threshold temperature set as 410C (Celsius) and reactive energy threshold as 0.3J (Joules). From the Simulation result, the developed scheme IE-TARP packet delivery outperforms HPR and ETARP by 13.63% and 4.05% respectively. IE-TARP network lifetime outperforms HPR and ETARP by 28.44% and 7.10% respectively. IE-TARP end to end delay outperforms ETARP by 2.89% and HPR outperformed IE-TARP with a slight improvement of 0.59%.
