PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF AODV BASED ROUTING ALGORITHM INTER WIRELESS BODY AREA NETWORKS

Abstract

Vital data such as body temperature, heart rhythm and respiration rate are very important in evaluating human health and intervening immediately in possible problems. Various systems can be used to monitor and evaluate these vital and physical data. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), which are widely used in remote health monitoring systems, have been the subject of applications in many areas such as sports, military and interactive games, particularly health. Especially in more intense environments, the coordinator nodes of individuals carrying WBAN equipment can communicate with each other (inter-WBAN), revealing the importance of routing processes. In this study, WBAN communication network was modeled in Riverbed Modeler simulation software. AODV routing protocol has been used in order to reach the targets of data successfully in inter-WBAN communication. The IEEE 802.15.6 protocol was used for intra-WBAN communication and the end-to-end delay, energy consumption and throughput parameters were analyzed for the performance analysis of the proposed system.

KABLOSUZ VÜCUT ALAN AĞLARI ARASI AODV TABANLI YÖNLENDİRME ALGORİTMASININ BAŞARIM ANALİZİ

Abstract

Vücut ısısı, kalp ritmi ve solunum oranı gibi hayati veriler insan sağlığının değerlendirilmesi ve olası problemlerde anında müdahale edilebilmesi bakımından oldukça önemlidir. Bu yaşamsal ve fiziksel verilerin izlenmesinde ve değerlendirmesinde çeşitli sistemler kullanılabilmektedir. Uzaktan sağlık izleme sistemlerinde yaygın olarak kullanılan Kablosuz Vücut Alan Ağları (KVAA) başta sağlık olmak üzere sportif, askeri ve etkileşimli oyunlar gibi birçok alanda uygulamalara konu olmuştur. Özellikle daha yoğun ortamlarda KVAA donanımlarını taşıyan bireylerin koordinatör düğümlerinin birbiri ile haberleşebilmesi (KVAA-arası) yönlendirme işlemlerinin önemini ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmada Riverbed Modeler benzetim yazılımında KVAA haberleşme ağı modellenmiştir. KVAA’lar arası haberleşmede verilerin hedeflerine başarılı bir şekilde ulaşmaları amacıyla AODV yönlendirme protokolü kullanılmıştır. KVAA-içi haberleşmede ise IEEE 802.15.6 protokolü kullanılmış ve tasarlanan sistemin başarım analizi için uçtan-uça gecikme, enerji tüketimi ve iş çıkarma oranı gibi ağ başarım parametreleri incelenmiştir.
