Performance analysis of wban based on aodv and dsdv routing protocols

Abstract

Due to the particularity of the human body wireless environment, there are no redundant nodes in WBAN and the nodes energy is limited. The design of efficient routing protocol for WBAN is crucial. In this paper, based on the human body signs parameters measurement in the actual situation, the wireless body area network topology model was constructed. By the application of the classic AODV and DSDV Ad Hoc routing protocols on this model, the end-to-end delay, packet loss rate and throughput performance indicators were analyzed and compared under different transmission rate and packet size. The simulation results show that the on-demand routing protocol AODV is more suitable for the data transmission under the environment of human body.
