WBAN Health Monitoring System Using TEEN Protocol: Threshold Sensitive Energy Efficient Network Protocol

Wireless Body Area Network is a wireless network of biomedical sensors that are attached to the human body. The aim of WBAN is to facilitate continuous recording and monitoring of a person’s health and transfer the data over a long distance communication network. Wearable sensors like Wristband Blood pressure sensor, glucowise sensor, fever alarm armband, ring sensor and tattoos sensor are attached on the body of patient by which values are to be taken and analyzed by healthcare system. TEEN protocol has been simulated for routing the patient’s data in wireless body area network and its demonstration has been explained by number of critical events monitored for each iteration, calculation of critical parameters of each patient, energy consumption for each iteration and false acceptance rate vs. false rejection rate of TEEN protocol. Section I explains about the wireless body area network, section II gives the detailed architecture of WBAN. In section III, the routing issues and challenges faced has been explained. Section IV explains the proposed work and section V explains the detailed simulation results in Matlab.
