Abstract
Increased life expectancy and present-day habits have increased the number of patients with metabolic diseases. This makes even youngsters more dependent on continuous health care services. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a solution to this problem with mobile health care wherever you are, with required attention to fatal body symptoms. The implantation of on-body sink has been a subject of research, since the failure of this sink causes missing of important health information. This paper compares the performance of the routing protocol PRPLC by changing the sink to five different positions. The performance is compared with respect to three metrics, such as network lifetime, propagation delay and packet delivery ratio (PDR).
