  • Abstract
    We consider the issue of designing a transport layer protocol for energy efficient congestion control and reliable data transfer in wireless body sensor network. The proposed protocol focuses on efficient management of queue to provide reliability and reduce packet loss. This protocol achieves energy efficiency to a greater extent by reducing packet loss. The protocol achieved greater throughput by ensuring reliability in the network. It is capable of supporting multiple applications in the same network by introducing unique packet sequence number. We present the design and implementation of the protocol and evaluate the protocol with different scenarios and network characteristics.
