Abstract :

Advances in medical sciences with other fields of science and technology is closely casual profound mutations in different branches of science and methods for providing medical services affect the lives of its descriptor. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) represents such a leap. Those networks excite new branches in the world of telemedicine. Small wireless sensors, to be quite precise and calculated, are installed in or on the body and create a WBAN that various vital statistics or environmental parameters sampling, processing and radio. These nodes allow independent monitoring of a person's location, in typical environments and for long periods and provide for the user and the medical, offer real-time feedback from the patient's health status. In this article, the introduction of WBAN and review issues and applications of medical sensor networks, to offer a protocol has been established that the threshold for data transmission reduces power consumption on sensor nodes, increasing the lifetime of the network and motion phase to increase the dynamics of the network. The proposed protocol in the network been compared with the SIMPLE and ATTEMPT protocols. Results indicate a significant reduction in energy consumption of sensors to reduce energy consumption the entire network.
