Abstract

The edge/fog computing has the potential to gear up the healthcare industry by providing better and faster health services to the patients. In healthcare systems where every second is crucial, the edge computing can be helpful to reduce the time between data capture and analytics in a powerful manner. In edge computing, the network edge devices are configured in such a manner that they can handle critical analysis and make necessary decisions instead of sending the captured health data directly to the cloud. However, lifetime of the edge network is a critical factor and thus an energy efficient network architecture has to be designed to achieve the above mentioned goal. In this regard, this research presents a new extremal optimization tuned micro genetic algorithm (EO-μGA) based clustering technique for the sake of efficient routing and prolonging network lifetime by saving the battery power of network edge devices. Moreover, a novel fitness function with a set of relevant criteria of edge devices such as energy factor, average intra-cluster distance, average distance to cluster leader over data analytics center, average sleeping time, and computational load has been considered for the selection of the cluster leader which will be responsible for managing intra-cluster and inter-cluster data communication. The simulation results show that the proposed EO-μGA based clustering model offers a higher network lifetime and a least amount of transmission energy consumption per node as compared to various state of the art optimization algorithms.
