Wireless body area networks(WBANs) have been an area of growing interest in the recent years. Their use in biomedical signal monitoring by implanting low powered sensors inside the body to monitor various physiological parameters have replaced the need for patients spending long periods of time in the hospital. Some of the areas where they are used are in coronary care, diabetes, optical aids, bladder control, muscle stimulants and heartbeat monitoring. As these sensors are implanted in the human body, there are two areas of focus viz., heat rise and sensor lifetime. While there has been considerable research work done in routing to prevent heat rise and efficient duty cycle protocols to conserve battery life, to the best of our knowledge none of them address both the issues. In our proposed protocol we adopt the shortest hop routing of packets from one sensor node to another sensor node. We also establish an effective duty cycle by using the current temperature rise as a parameter. In order to calculate the duty cycle, we use a probability distribution functions viz., Poisson, Binomial, Lognormal and Laplace. We modeled the heat rise in the tissue according to a fixed temperature gain model and according to the Pennes bio heat equation in a discrete event simulation program we wrote in Java. We observe the temperature rise, amount of time the nodes have slept and also the amount of packets that are successfully delivered because of this duty cycle.
