Abstract
Intra-WBSN are generally short range wireless health monitoring networks, consisting of strategically placed miniaturized, intelligent and low powered bio-sensors. They perform various applications in healthcare, fitness, military, sport and consumer electronics. The network stability and the network longevity of such networks have prime focus in current research. Routing schemes have a significant potential to make such network energy efficient by sending the sensing data properly and promptly. In this paper, we have proposed a relay based cooperative routing scheme to achieve high energy efficiency. Sensing data from the bio-sensor node have been delivered on the basis data priority. The sensing data with high priority has been directly transmitted to body network controller (BNC). The delivery of normal sensing data from bio-sensor to the BNC through relay nod or cooperative node. These nodes are deployed in clothes, they can be easily replaced or recharged, it provide effective, easy and comfortable health monitoring. Through simulation results, the proposed routing protocol achieved improved performance in terms of energy efficiency, network stability, network lifetime, path-loss and throughput in comparison to the existing routing schemes.
