Abstract—In this work, we propose a multi-hop protocol for wireless personal area networks In particular, both distance and residual energy taken into consideration to select the primary node or forwarder. The cost function selects a parent node which has high residual energy and minimum distance to the sink. Residual energy parameters balance the energy consumption among the sensor nodes while distance parameter ensures successful packet delivery to the base station. We provide comparing energy consumption of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ZigBee and ANT protocols in which a specific range and low power wireless sensor node periodically sends a data packet to a sink. Simulation results show that our proposed protocol maximizes the network lifetime and nodes stay alive for longer period, for the same transmitted power, radio frequency, packet size and data rate for the three protocols, ZigBee consumes less energy and offers longer network lifetime.

Index Terms—Personal are network, ZigBee, bluetooth low energy, residual energy, lifetime.
