| Abstract | The reliable delivery of data is important in designing Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) employed for critical applications such as e-health. In order to communicate the data reliably from the sensors to the base station, the data transmission technique (star or multi-hop) and the transmission power plays a very important role. As transmission power is increased, transmission distance is increased and the data can be sent reliably to far nodes. However, in WBANs, there is always a limit to increase the transmission power. Keeping the power level at some low threshold and increasing the distance between a sensor and the base station results in reduced received power which ultimately degrades the data transmission. Thus, for star data transmission technique, the point to ponder is the maximum separation between a sensor and the base station to transmit the data reliably. The reliability in WBANs can be analyzed through different parameters such as received power, received signal strength indicator, link quality indicator, packet error rate, packet reception rate, etc. This paper aims at performing a reliability analysis for WBAN through the mentioned parameters to suggest an optimal sensor/base station separation using star data transmission technique. This analysis is performed employing the default routing protocol in TinyOS called the Collection Tree Protocol. Our study considers different sensor placements on different parts of the body as well as different angular offsets between sensor and base station. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
