Regression-based Transmission Power Control for Green Healthcare

摘要

Energy saving is the dire need of resource-constrained wearable healthcare sensors. Classical methods are inappropriate to fulfill the needs of healthcare platform especially, body sensor networks (BSNs). So, to remedy the energy crises issues this paper proposes regression-based Self-Predictive Power Control (SPPC) algorithm by incorporating power levels in association to dynamic wireless channel. Besides, two experimental scenarios; ‘Right Wrist to Chest’ and ‘Right Ankle to Chest’ are adopted, it is examined through extensive simulation results that proposed SPPC has better performance unlike their counterparts such as, APC. Thus, proposed regression-based SPPC is the suitable candidate for the emerging healthcare applications.
