Abstract

A wireless sensor networks can be used in several applications to monitor certain parameters like smart homes, agriculture field monitoring and healt care monitoring. In this work, we propose a routing protocol for wireless body area network, to transfer data with minimum energy consumption and longer network life time, we use a multi-hop topology and we evaluate the performance of our approach by simulations.
