Algorithmic Approach for Reliable Communication in Wireless Body Area Network for Patient Monitoring System

Now a days, applications of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) have increased considerably. Mobility Management in WBAN for patient monitoring can be used which offers flexibility and mobility to patients. Use of a Mobile WBAN provides flexibility of setting up a remote monitoring system via internet or an intranet. For such a system it is very important that a WBAN can collect and transmit data reliably and in a timely manner. In this paper we propose algorithmic approach to mobile WBAN using A Demodulate and Forward XOR Network Coding Scheme to generate an efficient network code to determine the quality of the link to increase reliability during communication. We suggest network route quality identifier (RQI) and next hop identifier (NHI) to achieve reliability without increase in any overhead.
