The wireless body area network (WBAN) has been proposed to offer a solution to the problem of population ageing, shortage in medical facilities and different chronic diseases. The development of this technology has been further fueled by the demand for real-time application for monitoring these cases in networks. The integrity of communication is constrained by the loss of packets during communication affecting the reliability of WBAN. Mitigating the loss of packets and ensuring the performance of the network is a challenging task that has sparked numerous studies over the years. The WBAN technology as a problem of reducing network lifetime; thus, in this paper, we utilize cooperative routing protocol (CRP) to improve package delivery via end-to-end latency and increase the length of the network lifetime. The end-to-end latency was used as a metric to determine the significance of CRP in WBAN routing protocols. The CRP increased the rate of transmission of packets to the sink and mitigate packet loss. The proposed solution has shown that the end-to-end delay in the WBAN is considerably reduced by applying the cooperative routing protocol. The CRP technique attained a delivery ratio of 0.8176 compared to 0.8118 when transmitting packets in WBAN.

Extracting an electrical energy from various environmental sources, called energy harvesting (or energyscavenging), has been an issue and attracting researchers attention in energy replenish networks.Thermal energy harvesting holds a promising future for generatinga small amount of electrical power to drive partial circuits in wirelessly communicatingelectronics devices. Reducing power consumption has also become a major challenge in wireless body area network (WBAN). The reliability ofthe WBAN is greatly dependent on the life span of theenergyaware routing in networks.In this paper presented a fuzzy controller for thermal energyaware routing in WBAN.The paper concludes with performance analysis of the thermal energy harvesting aware routing, comparison of fuzzy and other traditional energy management techniques,while also looking at open research areas of thermoelectric harvesting and management for wireless body area networks.
