Abstract

WBAN, as an important application aspect in the wireless sensor network, has a favourable application prospect in biomedical field, which can provide real time monitoring and health nursing for patients. Therefore, it requires a higher efficiency and better reliability on medical data transmission in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). This paper analyses the problems of low energy consumption in data transmission and establishes a networking model based on Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol, which is suitable to apply in WBAN. Considering the life cycle of the network and the importance of the nodes in certain environment, we improve the LEACH algorithm in order to adapt to the WBAN. The experiments simulation and analyses results denote that this improved algorithm effectively reduces the consumption energy and prolongs the life cycle of the entire network.
