On Increasing Network Lifetime in Body Area Networks Using Global Routing with Energy Consumption Balancing

Global routing protocols in wireless body area networks are considered. Global routing is augmented with a novel link cost function designed to balance energy consumption across the network. The result is a substantial increase in network lifetime at the expense of a marginal increase in energy per...
