An Energy Saving Approach in Wireless Body Sensor Networks for Health Care Monitoring

摘要

Recent technological advances in sensors, low-power micro-electronics and miniaturization and wireless networking have enabled the design and proliferation of wireless body sensor networks capable of autonomously monitoring and controlling environments. One of the most promising problems existing in this network is efficient data transmission with optimized resource utilization. This paper handles the most influencing factor to obtain such efficiency with respect to energy consumption. Selection for optimized routing with the better load balancing is determined and the enhanced uniform clustering of the sensor nodes is performed using the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm with the best possible route selection using the tree clustering technique. The result shows that the proposed method outperforms the existing approaches mentioned in this paper.
