Abstract

E-Health is one of the most promising applications of wireless sensor networks. This paper describes a prototype for e-Health systems. Based on the system, we propose the energy-balanced location-aided routing protocol. The location and energy information of the neighbor Coordinators is collected and stored in the neighbor discovery procedure. And then the Coordinator selects the most suitable neighbor to forward the data. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better performance than the three other routing protocols.
