Abstract

WBAN technology plays a vital role in human life monitoring and maintaining health remotely without being hospitalized, particularly during pandemic situations. The miniature-sized and heterogeneous sensors involved in WBAN with limited resources face reliability as a key challenge that limits the growth of WBAN technology. Designing an efficient routing protocol helps to achieve reliable data transmission between sensor nodes in WBAN. The proposed Fuzzy logic-based Forward Node Selection chooses the best node to transmit the data by introducing fuzzy logic on routing parameters such as link quality, data rate, node’s residual energy and node-to-node distance. The key advantages of our proposed system are to extend the network lifetime and boost the packet delivery ratio. The efficiency of our proposed method is estimated by comparing the parameters of network lifetime and packet delivery ratio with DTS and EARP protocols.

Keywords: WBAN, Fuzzy Logic, Forward node selection, RSSI, LQI, Link quality, data rate.
