Abstract
In health monitoring, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) do a key role. In WBANs, several limited energy sensors are fixed on the body of humans to observe patients’ health continuously. As time progresses, the energy of sensor nodes reduces due to consumption for data transmission. Routing protocols play a significant role in enhancing nodes’ lifetime by sending information data effectively to the sink node. We propose a new multi-hop protocol depending on the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value of sensor nodes. The maximum RSSI value of a sensor node is selected as a parent node/forwarder node. With the help of a parent node, all sensor nodes transfer data to a sink node. By comparing the efficiency of our routing protocol with existing protocols, M-ATTEMPT and SIMPLE.
