Key Problems about Human Body Communication on Wireless Body Area Network

Abstract

In our paper, basing on static model and dynamic model of human body, we present an efficient next hop selection algorithm for multi-hop Body Area Network. By calculating and analyzing every hop’s residual energy, free queue size, link reliability and so on, we can build a function about QoS and present an algorithm to select the next hop for the BAN. Via simulation software MATLB, we gain the numbers of packet forwarding and network lifetime of the network system. Last but not the end, by getting vast simulation data and analyzing it, we finally find the both advantages and disadvantages, application of scope of the algorithm. Besides, the paper also puts forward some improvement plans and prospects for the future.
