Abstract
Wireless body area sensor networks (WBASN) becomes an emerge network which is now implemented for eHealth applications. The WBASN consists of multiple embedded biosensors and the coordinator. The biosensors collect vital data of human body, which will be transmitted to the coordinator; then, the coordinator forwards the vital data to doctor via the Internet. Because many sensors may select the same routing path to the coordinator, the collision of transmission may occur which leads to degrade network performance. In this paper, we proposed an energy-efficient mobility-aware clustering protocol (EMAC) which allows the sensors to form into clusters, then only cluster heads forward data to the coordinator. The results show that network performance has been improved in terms of high residual energy at the sensor nodes and high received packets at the coordinator.
