The wireless body area network (WBAN) has been proposed to offer a solution to the problem of population ageing, shortage in medical facilities and different chronic diseases. The development of this technology has been further fueled by the demand for real-time application for monitoring these cases in networks. The integrity of communication is constrained by the loss of packets during communication affecting the reliability of WBAN. Mitigating the loss of packets and ensuring the performance of the network is a challenging task that has sparked numerous studies over the years. The WBAN technology as a problem of reducing network lifetime; thus, in this paper, we utilize cooperative routing protocol (CRP) to improve package delivery via end-to-end latency and increase the length of the network lifetime. The end-to-end latency was used as a metric to determine the significance of CRP in WBAN routing protocols. The CRP increased the rate of transmission of packets to the sink and mitigate packet loss. The proposed solution has shown that the end-to-end delay in the WBAN is considerably reduced by applying the cooperative routing protocol. The CRP technique attained a delivery ratio of 0.8176 compared to 0.8118 when transmitting packets in WBAN.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is most useful network due to its healthcare applications. The reliability is the major issue of concern in WBAN as highly prioritized signals are sent by using this network. The WBAN must cover the maximum body with minimum number of nodes for the efficient processing of the data sensed. This paper discusses a reliable optimized WBAN protocol named as Jaya based Optimized And Reliable protocol (JOAR) which covers the maximum body with minimum nodes and route the data in an efficient manner. The proposed protocol uses the JAYA algorithm for the optimization process. The comparison of the routing protocol with other existing state of art techniques like anthocnet, AODV and DSDV proves its significance
