Abstract
In the last few years, wearable health monitoring systems have gained the attention of various researchers in order to cope with the rising cost of the health care systems. This paper addresses the use of standard protocols, particularly IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee, which are capable of supporting the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements in Wireless Body Area Networks. Simulation study on the routing protocols was done to investigate the protocol suitable for Body Area Networks and AODV was found to meet the requirements of energy and QoS.
