Energy Efficient Routing Methods in Wireless Body Area Networks: A Brief Study

In these days, the concept of WBAN is widely used that is also known as Wireless Body Area Network. This kind was created once wireless sensor networks reached a particular level of development and maturity. This was probably caused by the significant advancement in wireless comfort scientific knowledge and little electronic component parts. Undoubtedly, this type of research is receiving a lot of attention these days because of its potential applications in the real world, particularly in the field of healthcare. Today, a simple sensor can be attached to a person's body to record various mental factors. This sensor can then transmit the information it collects to another device, which can then capture more significant behaviours. As WBANs typically rely on battery-powered sensors, optimizing energy consumption is essential to ensure the longevity of the sensors' battery life and the overall efficiency of the network. In order to increase energy efficiency and lower the power consumption of the sensors themselves, we examine the most efficient routing protocols utilized in WBAN in this work.
