Equalized Energy Consumption in Wireless Body Area Networks for a Prolonged Network Lifetime

Algorithm 1

: indicates the set of all possible paths of a source

node .

: indicates the base station.

: corresponds to the number of source nodes in the

network.

: the number of paths in set.

: the set of all non intersecting paths of the source

node .

: the set of all intersecting paths of the source node .

: a function indicating packet transmission delay

corresponding to a path .
