Abstract

Wireless body area networks (WBAN) are essential for patient monitoring and reducing lengths of stay in hospitals. Our research's objective was to create a scheduling strategy and energy-efficient routing for WBANs that was energy-efficient while also enhancing network life. The projected model includes four major phases: (a) Network setup and clustering, (b) Next-hop-node selection (c) Multi-hop routing, and (d) Scheduling. The nodes (sensors embedded in the patient) are clustered during the network creation phase, and the Cluster Head (CH) for data transmission to sink is chosen using the new Modernized Stackelberg Game Theory. Then, the optimal next-hop node for data transmission (from CH to sink) is accomplished via a new optimized four-fold-objectives model, to reduce the network's overall energy usage by balancing the energy use among the sensor nodes. The four-fold objectives like energy, Link quality, Mobility, and Trust Value are taken into consideration during the selection of the optimal path. Moreover, a new Enhanced Glow Worm Swarm Optimization (En-GWSO) model is designed to find the optimal path among the available paths. This En-GWSO model is an extended version of the standard GWSO model. The data reaches the sink via the optimal path, and hence the data transmission delay is reduced. From the sink, the data is transmitted via the routers in a multi-hop fashion. Further, at the receiver end, the scheduling takes place. In the scheduling phase, the data from the sink node is sent in their time slots i.e., Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to the concerned receiver (doctor/emergency/hospital). Finally, a comparative evaluation is made to validate the efficiency of the projected model.
