  • Abstract
    In the present scenario WBAN is an evolving and developing area which is mostly used in medical applications to keep an eye on patients. This paper explains an energy harvesting adaptive protocol used for node connectivity which results in minimum power consumption, increased network lifetime, and high throughput. Peer to peer topology is used, where all nodes have both uplink and downlink. That means the communication is bidirectional. Here we are using a GTS based multi-hop technique. Here idle mode of the transceiver is enhanced so that energy consumption can reduced.
