Table 1 clustered routing protocols in body area networks
From: A guide for the selection of routing protocols in WBAN for healthcare applications
Sl. no. | Protocol [ref. no.] | Goal | Performance metrics | Compared with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Cluster based body area protocol (CBBAP) [12] | To enhance the overall energy efficiency of WBAN | Throughput, residual energy, number of live nodes | LEACH |
2 | AnyBody protocol [11] | To divide the network into clusters and to efficiently send packets from source to sink | Number of clusters, average cluster size, number of transmitted messages to setup | LEACH |
3 | Hybrid indirect transmission (HIT) [8] | To maintain longer network life | Network longevity, network delay, average energy dissipation, average energy dissipation × average delay product | LEACH, PEGASIS, direct |
