Abstract
A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a system that connects a variety of self-contained medical sensors and devices positioned both internally and externally on the human body. The reliability of the network is an important consideration in the design of a WBAN, especially for healthcare applications. Because of the network's close proximity to the human body, electromagnetic waves should have a low effect on the body. In a WBAN, sensors do not send their data directly to monitoring devices or gateways; instead, the data is transmitted via relay nodes. A new smart healthcare monitoring reliability system based on cooperative network coding (RCNC) is presented. Simulation results demonstrate that RCNC-WBAN schemes can achieve optimal results while improving packet delivery, reducing resource redundancy degree (RRD), and minimizing delay.
