Performance Analysis of Energy Efficient Grid based Wireless
Body Area Network System
By Aashima Arya & Naveen Bilandi
DAV University, India
Abstract- Wireless Body Area Network makes it possible to monitor patient’s health under critical
situations by integrating bio-sensors with a mobile phone. With this WBAN has now become a
emerging technology to improve patient’s quality of life by enabling health monitoring at home
instead of at a hospital. WBAN reduces the workload of medical practitioners as well as healthcare
costs which further results in higher efficiency. This paper presents the architecture of existing
wireless health monitoring system (WBAN system). Due to limited battery capacity of sensor nodes
there is need to have energy efficient design. This work explores the grid based data dissemination
model for WBAN. The grid model divides the network area into cells. All the nodes will not participate
in data transmission which conserves energy. Further we compare existing model with the grid model
on the basis of energy consumed, throughput and delay.
