Abstract

In this study, an efficient routing algorithm for WHAN in private cloud was proposed. Pervasive computing based facilities that are genuinely user-friendly to everyone will require technologies that enable communication between people and objects in close proximity. Since to the context of conventional technologies is “intra body” communication in which the whole human body serves as the transmission medium. The human body can transmit up to 10 mbps at a fraction of time. For these environments we need high transmission rate of scheduling the packets, reliability, integrity and security in packet delivery. Hence we proposed a new algorithm called near field coupling algorithm for packet scheduling, Routing and delivery within the Wireless Human Area Network. Our proposed algorithm reduces the energy consumption, packet routing and scheduling time which uses WHAN as basic framework for transmission. Here our communication channel is optimized through the cloud environment. Experimental results demonstrating our proposed methodology was also included.
