Energy efficient routing algorithm in wireless body area networks for smart wearable patches

Abstract

Presently most of the applications in Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBAN) demand effective communication processes, which is used to monitor the data in a remote manner according to the demand and timely manner for wearable systems. The data have been transmitted through the sensor networks among smart wearable devices which help to analyze the various security threats. The data transmission using sensor networks of smart wearable patches may consumes more energy which leads to minimize the entire network lifetime as well as to reduce the data transmission quality. Even though the network transmits the data with effective manner, the data has been aggregated from different sources via common aggregators in the smart wearable patches. At the time of the aggregation process, network lifetime needs to be managed for further data analyzes process. So, in this research the lifetime of the network has been managed by applying the opportunistic energy-efficient routing with load balancing (OE2-LB) algorithm which eliminates the data aggregation delay as well as avoid routing loops with effective manner for the smart wearable patches. Then the efficiency of the system has been validated in terms of network lifetime, delay, error metrics, Energy efficiency and throughput of the network.
