Abstract

This paper presents an effective cross layer data dissemination approach for healthcare Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). This approach guarantees an efficient medium access and route establishment while taking into account the traffic types, energy saving and scheduling issues. Simulation results prove the efficiency of our proposed approach in terms of energy consumption compared to IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6 standards.
