Abstract:They have cooperated closely and mutually with me since the beginning of this research study to help me successfully finish this thesis.I am pleased to express my utmost gratitude and appreciation to my supervisors, Prof. Yuan Miao and Dr Khandakar Ahmed. They shared valuable knowledge and experience they had acquired over the years. They enabled me to choose an up-to-date research topic. Moreover, their continuous suggestions and helpful guidance made this difficult path easier for me. Without the support of … Show more
“…Wearable sensors are an essential part of the WBAN because of the data they get from the wearer's body, which may then put to other beneficial uses. Researchers from various fields have presented various wearable sensor devices designed for use with WBAN applications [4]. The authors demonstrate a wearable photoplethysmography sensor that monitors a person's heartbeat from the earlobe.…”
A wireless body area network (WBAN) collects several tiny sensor nodes in the human body. They are intended to observe data constantly forward and perform as critical structures for remote healthcare monitoring and healing. These protect the preferred reliability and efficiency of data transmissions of individual body sensors. However, with the restricted sensor energy, unreliable link connection, and complex channel environment, the design of efficient routing in Multihop WBANs is demanding. This article, Efficient and Reliable Multihop Routing (ERMR) for IoT Healthcare Applications, is proposed. The main concept is to incorporate a fuzzy-logic system to handle multiple cross-layer input variables independently. This approach uses the fuzzy logic method to select the optimal route in the WBAN. The fuzzy input like sensor node distance, link strength, energy, and node quality of Service and produce the output is a reliable forwarder selection. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed approach increases the network throughput and minimizes the network delay in the WBAN.
