Critical Data Routing (CDR) for Intra Wireless Body Sensor Networks
Abstract: The life critical
and real time medical application of Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSNs) requires
the assurance of the demanded Quality of Service (QoS) both in terms delay and
reliability. This paper proposes Critical Data Routing (CDR) that categorizes
the sensory data packets as critical and noncritical data packets. Along with
the heterogeneous natured data, it also addresses the high and dynamic path
loss and the temperature rise issues caused by postural movement of the human
body and electromagnetic waves absorption respectively. The simulation results
show that the proposed CDR scheme achieves its designed objective of forwarding
the critical data packets within certain time limits and with highest
reliability while reducing the temperature rise of the in-body sensor nodes.
