Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) consists of a large number of distributed sensor nodes. Wireless sensor networks are offering the next evolution in biometrics and healthcare monitoring applications. The present paper proposes a congestion control protocol based on the learning automata which prevents the congestion by controlling the source rate. Furthermore, a new active queue management mechanism is developed. The main objective of the proposed active queue management mechanism is to control and manage the entry of each packet to sensor nodes based on learning automata. The proposed system is able to discriminate different physiological signals and assign them different priorities. Thus, it would be possible to provide better quality of service for transmitting highly important vital signs. The simulation results confirm that the proposed protocol improves system throughput and reduces delay and packet dropping.
