Secure and energy-efficient framework using Internet of Medical Things for e-healthcare.

Link quality and energy utilization based preferable next hop selection routing for wireless body area networks

SARS-CoV2 has caused a coronavirus disease known as COVID-19. It has become a pandemic all over the world that highly demands proper data interpretation to expand research findings. In the medical and healthcare systems, the Internet of Medical Things devices play a crucial role to gain the autonomous operation that provides an eco-friendly condition to medical practitioners and patients. In an emergency, healthcare-related data including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen level, and temperature are transmitted to assess the condition of patients. It deploys low-power sensor nodes on the patient's body that periodically generates an analysis report to the medical center through the mobile sink. However, it is still challenging to analyze security risk and energy consumption. In the issue of unbalanced energy consumption, the low-power sensor nodes may degrade the delivery time of data transmission to the remote data centers. Therefore, this article presents a privacy-aware energy-efficient framework (P-AEEF) protocol to secure the medical information of the patient. The prime objective is to minimize the communication cost to improve the security features and energy efficiency against unauthentic access. The simulation result reveals that the proposed P-AEEF provides ~88.25 percent better performance efficiency than the other state-of-the-art approaches.

Privacy-Aware Energy-Efficient Framework Using the Internet of Medical Things for COVID-19

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is one of the specialized branches of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which draws attention from various fields of science, such as medicine, engineering, physics, biology, and computer science. It has emerged as an important research area contributing to sports, social welfare, and medical treatment. One of the most important technologies of WBANs is routing technology. For efficient routing in WBANs, multiple network operations, such as network stability, throughput, energy efficiency, end-to-end delay, and packet delivery ratio, must be considered. In this paper, a robust and efficient Energy Harvested-aware Routing protocol with Clustering approach in Body area networks (EH-RCB) is proposed. It is designed with the intent to stabilize the operation of WBANs by choosing the best forwarder node, which is based on optimal calculated Cost Function (C.F). The C.F considers the link SNR, required transmission power, the distance between nodes, and total available energy, i.e., harvested energy and residual energy. Comprehensive simulation has been conducted, supported by NS-2 and C++ simulations tools to compare EH-RCB with existing protocols named DSCB, EERP, RE-ATTEMPT, and EECBSR. The results indicate a significant improvement in the EH-RCB in terms of the end-to-end delay network stability, packet delivery ratio, and network throughput.

Robust and Efficient Energy Harvested-Aware Routing Protocol With Clustering Approach in Body Area Networks

In this paper a reliable, efficient in terms of power consumption and high stable network is proposed for Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks. Eight sensor nodes are used from which two are recording critical data. These two sensors are not apart of multi-hopping but send data direct to the sink. Remaining six sensors are computed to become a forwarder node. Forwarder nodes gathers data from sensors and after aggregating sends ti the sink. Two parameters are set for cost function so that a forwarder node is selected. If a sensor is having minimum distance and maximum energy as compared to the entire nodes then it will be selected as forwarder node. Multi-hopping is used to reduce the distance of data communication and to save energy consumption. Simulation is carried out and shows stable results.
