“…They have not considered the packet priority. Vetale et al[15] have proposed QoS aware routing protocol for WBAN by considering four types of packets namely critical, delaysensitive, reliable packets, and normal packets. The protocol finds the suitable best path based on the QoS parameters like path loss, link reliability, link delay, and temperature of the node.…”

A Survey of Routing Protocols in WBAN for Healthcare Applications

“…Vetale et al [33] proposed a data-aware hybrid routing protocol HDPR, which adopts a modular approach. As shown in Figure 13, the design of Qos varies across the network layer and the MAC layer.…”

“…As shown in Table 6, both LRPD [32] and HDPR [33] protocols adopt modular methods to optimize Qos. LRPD is designed to optimize the network metrics for delay, considering all delays in the whole process, and then minimize them to reduce the overall network delay.…”

“…In the analysis of the above routing methods, both MHRP [18] and HDPR [33] protocols, stipulate that the relay node only has the function of receiving and forwarding, and the biological node only collects and transmits information, without forwarding other information. This method can reduce the energy consumption of the biological node and prolong the network life [38].…”
