Energy efficient in medical ad hoc sensors network by exploiting routing protocols

摘要

The energy efficient in medical ad hoc sensors network (MASN) is one of the most important areas of researches to ensure better services for applications using such an environment. The challenge is how to use of energy of the sensors nodes in a fair way to avoid a break of connectivity in the network as long as possible. Our work focus on how to optimize the energy consumption and to increase the performance of the user applications in medical context. Our proposed approach is called M-EE (Medical Energy Efficient) which is based on the routing protocols with adding a new algorithm for energy fairness. M-EE takes into account the medical communication environment to manage efficiency the energy of the sensor nodes. With this mechanism, sensor nodes which are using image and video medical data are allowed more energy than other sensors nodes. The simulation results showed that our proposed M-EE approach allow significant energy consumption of the network, a reduction of the data loss and an increase in average working time of the sensors.
