Abstract

Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) form a promising technology to supply healthcare to an ageing population. Current solutions all assume single-hop networks, while research indicates the need for support of multi-hop topologies. A small movement in a network with small radio ranges, causes frequent node mobility. This work presents the first three algorithms to support Mobile BSNs. It is shown that the algorithms support mobility while being energy efficient.
