Routing Protocols of Wireless Body Networks: A Review

Abstract

The wireless body area network is the type of network which can sense the body conditions and pass sensed information to base station. The WBAN is the decentralized and self configuring type of network in which energy consumption is the major issue of the network. The routing protocols of wireless body area network can be categorized into certain classes. In this review paper, various routing protocols are reviewed and compared in terms of certain parameters
