Analytical Study on Data Transmission in WBAN With User Mobility Support

Mobility management plays a vital role in seamless data transmission for providing timely support to WBAN users. Health data should be transmitted without any interruption in with mobility of BAN user for monitoring and support in e-healthcare system. In this paper we illustrate different scenarios considering mobility of BAN user. We consider data transfer from patient to medical server using Internet technology, cloud services, vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) and satellite communication for different scenarios. We propose a health monitoring framework and develop an analytical model for determining throughput of WBAN. Our numerical analysis reveals the throughput of different scenarios when throughput increases, end -to-end packet loss probability decreases with increase in nested communication links between sink node and medical server.
