Abstract
Data generated by wireless body area network (WBAN), are heterogeneous as they have different characteristics in terms of priority, transmission rate, required bandwidth, tolerable packet loss, delay demands etc; thus transmitting them in uniform fashion is unsuitable. This paper proposes an efficient data transmission scheme which classifies and prioritizes data patients according to their current status and their diseases; also we utilize multiple paths routing between the coordinator and gateway to provide a solution satisfying the delay requirements of different data types. Finally, it’s shown that the proposed scheme is efficient for timely data transfer in WBAN.
