Abstract :
Heterogeneous nature of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) including different types of nodes, applications and environments sets great challenges for a routing protocol. We will present routing challenges set by WBAN and its applications, go through existing protocols and their flaws. In the end, we will give a novel routing protocol using different zones and fuzzy logic.
