Title Thermal aware high throughput routing protocol for wireless body area networks

Author(s) Noor Fatima

Abstract The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a branch of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that uses biosensors continuously collect data about the human body. These biosensors implanted on the human body to monitor movement and each node in the network act in a group to route the data packet. Wireless routing protocols provide a route to distribute the information by making the route. However, in the routing protocol selecting the next hop node for data transmission consequently affects the packet delivery ratio (PDR) network's performance. Frequent use of the same node for packet transmission and unnecessary information distribution rise the temperature of the node, which causes heated node issue that could damages the human tissue. This research proposed protocol called Thermal Aware High Throughput routing protocol for wireless body area networks (TAHT) that uses multi-hop communication. It manages the network’s route by data distribution initially. It estimates link quality for selecting the next hop from neighbor nodes. Also estimates the temperature to control the temperature rise and suspending the node based on predefined threshold and update the remaining energy status continuously to balance the energy. Moreover, the proposed protocol TAHT is compared with protocols name ERRS and TAEO, the simulation result shows that the proposed protocol TAHT controls the temperature dissipation by 5% as compared with the TAEO protocol while TAHT achieves 10% maximum throughput from TAEO and 20% from ERRS. TAHT increase 20% PDR by route planning as compared to ERRS. TAHT consumes 40% less energy as compared to TAEO and 20% from ERRS that improves network lifetime.
