Energy-Efficient Stable Election Protocol for IoT-Based Healthcare Systems Using Wireless Sensor Networks
Monika Pahuja, Dinesh Kumar · 2023
IoT integrated with WSN has become a pivotal force in healthcare, embodying a multitude of transformative applications. A protocol for analyzing data in the context of healthcare utilization is one definition of it, wherein a WSN must offer more dependable routing. As a result, there is a requirement to improve a technique in the healthcare industry that optimizes communication rates and increases dependability. This article presents a new approach for the purpose of routing data packets (DPs) to enhance the dependability of IoT-based WSNs for the Healthcare System (HCS). The study methodology takes into account the behaviour of HCSs as well as the significance of energy consumption (EC), packet delivery rate (PDR), and end-to-end delay (E2D). To accomplish the routing procedure, the research methodology incorporates several situations, such as residual energy (RE) and distance (d) from neighbours. The outcomes of designing the proposed Energy-Efficient Stable Election Protocol for IoT-based WSN in Healthcare Systems (EESBOP) protocol demonstrate its favourable performance compared to the I-SEP (Improved Stable Election Protocol) protocol. Additionally, the protocol is effective in achieving its goals of preserving the high quality of DPs that are delivered to the destination and maximizing the efficiency of EC within the HCS. The results of the experiments show that the study protocol beats both the EESBOP and I-SEP protocols. As a result, the throughput of the network is improved by 4%, and the rate at which packets are delivered is increased by 98.9%.
