“…Comparable to the simple flooding scheme, the proposed routing schemes provide better performance. An energy efficient routing scheme based on clustering composition where nanosensors are deployed in clusters to retain efficient connectivity among them is proposed in [121] and [67]. Each cluster is constructed from a cluster coordinator, cluster members, and cooperative relays.…”

Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that will make our life simpler and safer and mitigate our impact on the surrounding environment. With the recent advancements and transformations in the available networking and communications paradigms, embedding Wireless Nano Sensor Networks (WNSN) with various objects, sensors, and devices would add a new network paradigm. This paradigm is known as the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT). Seamless interconnectivity among nanonetworks with the available communication networks and the Internet requires developing new network architectures and new communication paradigms while addressing the various technical challenges. Routing protocol is one of the most essential requirements in WNSN and IoNT due to the different nanoscale constraints. This routing protocol must accommodate nanoscale communication's characteristics while guaranteeing the data and information transmission. This study aims to give insight into WNSN and IoNT paradigms and present a comprehensive review of a large number of existing routing protocols adapted to nano communication's characteristics and features.

Current developments in nanotechnology make electromagnetic communication possible at the nanoscale for applications involving Body Sensor Networks (BSNs). This specialized branch of Wireless Sensor Networks, drawing attention from diverse fields such as engineering, medicine, biology, physics and computer science, has emerged as an important research area contributing to medical treatment, social welfare, and sports. The concept is based on the interaction of integrated nanoscale machines by means of wireless communications. One key hurdle for advancing nanocommunications is the lack of an apposite networking protocol to address the upcoming needs of the nanonetworks. Recently, some key challenges have been identified, such as nanonodes with extreme energy constraints, limited computational capabilities, Terahertz frequency bands with limited transmission range, etc., in designing protocols for wireless nanosensor networks. This work proposes an improved performance scheme of nanocommunication over Terahertz bands for wireless BSNs making it suitable for smart e-health applications. The scheme contains -a new energy-efficient forwarding routine for electromagnetic communication in wireless nanonetworks consisting of hybrid clusters with centralized scheduling; a model designed for channel behavior taking into account the aggregated impact of molecular absorption, spreading loss, and shadowing; and an energy model for energy harvesting and consumption. The outage probability is derived for both single and multilinks and extended to determine the outage capacity. The outage probability for a multilink is derived using a cooperative fusion technique at a predefined fusion node. Simulated using a Nano-Sim simulator, performance of the proposed model has been evaluated for energy efficiency, outage capacity, and outage probability. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme through maximized energy utilization in both single and multihop communication; multisensor fusion at the fusion node enhances the link quality of the transmission.

Abstract-Body Area Networks (BANs) are used in a range of applications. In these networks, the sensor nodes attached to human body collect data and send it to controller node which in turn sends to a Base Station (BS) located at a remote location. The controller nodes in a BAN can be replaced easily, but when it comes to BANs moving in areas like war, it is hard to replace the batteries frequently. So we need to reduce energy requirement of the nodes to increase the network lifetime. Using mobile sensors is one way to reduce energy and controller nodes can send data to sink easily while performing inter-BAN communication where nodes need to act cooperatively to send data to BS using multi-hop communication. In this paper, we have proposed a new clustering algorithm in which probability of a node to become a Cluster Head (CH) is decided by its geographical location and residual energy of the node. Simulations results show that the proposed protocol is better than the existing EDDEEC protocol regarding the delay, energy efficiency, reliability and network lifetime.
