Dynamic HUB Selection Process in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN)
Wireless body area network (WBAN), a part of WSN, plays a pivotal role in the remote health monitoring system, these days. Wireless sensor nodes placed in, on, or around the human body are used to create WBAN. This WBAN is mainly used for collecting physiological and vital signals from humans in real-time using sensor nodes. It consists of different sensor nodes and hub, which collects the data from sensor nodes and send them to the gateway. High data rates at HUB cause the damage of an organ receiving high temperature in tissue by electromagnetic signals for a long period. In this chapter, by considering parameters such as the specific absorption rate, Battery Level, Priority of sensor nodes, and signal to noise interference (SINR) a HUB is selected dynamically, which shares the work of the HUB among different sensor nodes. So that workload on HUB decreases and shares its work accordingly to other sensor nodes concerning the data collected through the software LabVIEW. This chapter also illustrates the network (testbed) created using sensors for practically making the change in HUB by using the microcontroller, power, LM 35, BP sensor, Heartrate sensors arranged in a network through Arduino programming. In both these cases, the negative effect of electro-magnetic signals in WBAN, and the tissue damage in humans reduce for remote-health monitoring while increasing the network lifetime.
