Abstract
A wireless Sensor networks consists basically of a group of nodes that communicate with each other through a wireless transmission and does not need any existing infrastructure. These wireless sensor networks can be used in several applications to monitor many parameters in different area. The main objective in this communication is how to transfer data in the network with minimum energy consumption and keeping the quality of information send in the network. In this work, we propose a routing protocol for wireless body area network, for that, we use a multi hop topology to transfer data with minimum energy consumption and longer network life time. The simulation show that our protocol has not only the best performance but also the best energy efficiency.
