Sensors Transposing Technique for Minimizing the Path Loss Effect and Enhancement of Battery Lifetime in Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks

Abstract

There has been vast development leading to advanced systems like wireless communication and development of small sized devices and sensors which can perform several tasks simultaneously. These wireless sensors have provided a great potential towards a wearable technology, however; due to the small size of battery they have a limited power storage. There are vast applications of these sensors are in medical wireless sensor networks which are very critical. If the sensors not precisely positioned on the body of a patient, the communication between them may increase the power consumption of sensor nodes and diminish the life of battery. In this paper, a transposition technique for sensor position is being proposed by using Euclidean algorithm. In this technique, the sensor nodes may get placed in such a way that they have smaller distance to communicate with each other. This makes communication effective and increase battery life by reduction of path loss which occurs in wireless sensors communication.
