ENERGY EFFICIENT FUZZY ROUTING PROTOCOL IN WIRELESS BODY AREA NETWORKS
Yee Ming Chen, Yi Jen Peng, Hsin Sheng · 2013
To prolong the lifetime of a wireless body area sensor network (WBAN) is the most important concern in due to limited battery power of sensor nodes. Routing in WBAN is a very challenging problem due to the efficient utilization of energy. This paper focuses on energy efficient fuzzy routing protocol. Protocol based on fuzzy inference system computation reduces power consumption when compared to classical routing protocol. This fuzzy approach is soft and tunable and hence it can accommodate wireless body area sensor network comprising of different types of sensor nodes having different energy QoS metrics.
