Implementing routing protocol for energy-aware mobile Ad Hoc networks for WBAN-based healthcare systems

Abstract

Most mobile nodes are mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). MANET technology is energy-hungry. Because the network lacks a reliable power source, the mobile nodes are battery-powered. MANETs and body sensor networks have impacted health care (BSNs). In healthcare applications, a BSN must provide more reliable routing. Decreased communication rates and improved healthcare system dependability are needed. They're placed on, inside, or around the patient to track and send medical data to cloud servers. Such networks require QoS and EE. This article provides a reliable and energy-efficient healthcare system routing technique to balance QoS and power consumption. Performance metrics include routing overhead, energy consumption, end-to-end latency, throughput, scalability, and transmission error. According to testing, IBOLSR uses less energy and has a longer lifespan than OLSR, EAOLSR, and BOLSR. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms other existing algorithms. In tests, the proposed work shows a 79% less Average End-to-End Delay compared to other existing algorithms.
