Abstract

Abstract : In current study and design, the technology used in wireless body area networks has revolutionized the future of healthcare systems by remote and personalized monitoring to improve diagnosis and evolution of many pervasive diseases at early stages. In this paper, we proposed an energy-efficient computing technique to transmit the emergency data during critical conditions using bio-sensors and highly advanced nodes. During transmission and communication, energy consumption is minimized by applied threshold values to the sensed data and found the most efficient path using the cost value metric to decrease the energy consumption of the entire network. For optimizing energy constraints and to maintain a balance throughout the network lifetime, a suitable transceiver characteristic is selected and used in the design. Obtained results exhibit an increased stability period, network lifetime, throughput, remaining energy after data communication and a reduction in path loss, propagation delay compared to existing advanced node direct and multi-hop routing techniques.
