ABSTRACT
Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASNs) consist of
small sensors deployed on or implanted inside the human
body for monitoring health. Energy conservation of these
sensors while, guaranteeing a required level of performance is
a challenging task. Energy efficient routing schemes are
designed for longevity of network lifetime. In this paper, we
propose a routing protocol for measuring the fatigue of
soldier. Three sensors are attached with soldier's body that
monitors specific parameters. Our proposed protocol is an
event driven protocol and takes three scenarios for measuring
the fatigue of soldier. We implemented our protocol on
MATLAB. In simulations we compare network lifetime,
throughput, remaining energy and fatigue of soldier for all
three scenarios.
SCENARIOS FOR MEASURING
FATIGUE
COMPARISON OF LIFETIME
AND THROUGHPUT
Following are three scenarios for measuring fatigue of soldier:
• Soldier is walking ( 3.0 miles per hour)
• Soldier is running slowly (5.0 miles per hour)
• Soldier is running very fast (7.0 miles per hour)

CONCLUSION
Energy saving of sensor node is a challenging task for
researchers nowadays.In this paper we proposed an event
driven routing protocol for WBASN. specifically, three
nodes are attached with soldier's body to monitor his/her
heart beat, body temperature and glucose level in blood,
and further measures fatigue of soldier. Our proposed
protocol takes three scenarios for measuring the fatigue of
soldier i.e. (1) walking, (2) slow running and (3) fast
running. Results shows that our protocol performs better in
terms of network lifetime and throughput.
