Smart Sensing has shown notable contributions in the healthcare industry and revamps immense advancement. With this, the present smart sensing applications such as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) applications are elongated in the COVID-19 outbreak to facilitate the victims and alleviate the extensive contamination frequency of this pathogenic virus. Although, the existing IoMT applications are utilized productively in this pandemic, but somehow, the Quality of Service (QoS) metrics are overlooked, which is the basic need of these applications followed by patients, physicians, nursing staff, etc. In this review article, we will give a comprehensive assessment of the QoS of IoMT applications used in this pandemic from 2019 to 2021 to identify their requirements and current challenges by taking into account various network components and communication metrics. To claim the contribution of this work, we explored layer-wise QoS challenges in the existing literature to identify particular requirements, and set the footprint for future research. Finally, we compared each section with the existing review articles to acknowledge the uniqueness of this work followed by the answer of a question why this survey paper is needed in the presence of current state-of-the-art review papers. Index Terms-Smart sensing, QoS of IoMT, IoMT applications in COVID-19, QoS requirements, QoS challenges, routing protocols.
I. INTRODUCTIONC OVID-19 is an infectious and transmittable virus that can provoke penetrating respiratory syndrome in humans [1]. This virus has been spread all over the globe and infected 437,792,328 individuals, followed by 5,978,217 fatalities and 369,500,307 recovered cases by March 1, 2022 [2]. The research community believes that COVID-19 infection rates Manuscript
