“…In addition, the work in [9] considers the node temperature, energy level, and received signal power from adjacent nodes as a cost function while determining the optimal route that minimizes the temperature rise and power consumption of the network. Moreover, the work in [10] adopts node clustering for energy saving since communication among clusters enables shorter transmission ranges.…”

Abstract-This paper investigates cooperative relaying to support energy efficient in vivo communications. In such a network, the in vivo source nodes transmit their sensing information to an on-body destination node either via direct communications or by employing on-body cooperative relay nodes in order to promote energy efficiency. Two relay modes are investigated, namely single-hop and multi-hop (two-hop) relaying. In this context, the paper objective is to select the optimal transmission mode (direct, single-hop, or two-hop relaying) and relay assignment (if cooperative relaying is adopted) for each source node that results in the minimum per bit average energy consumption for the in vivo network. The problem is formulated as a binary program that can be efficiently solved using commercial optimization solvers. Numerical results demonstrate the significant improvement in energy consumption and quality-of-service (QoS) support when multi-hop communication is adopted.Index Terms-Body area network, in vivo, energy efficiency, relaying, multi-hop. I. INTRODUCTIONNowadays, health care systems demand accurate and continuous monitoring of patients' health status. Such a monitoring is currently enabled through wireless body area networks that adopt low-powered sensor nodes which can be deployed inside the human body (in vivo) or on the body to measure all physiological data of interest.A major challenge for in vivo communication is the requirement to support energy efficient communications with a quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee. This objective is motivated by the low power supply available for the in vivo sensor nodes and the associated difficulties with replacing the batteries of the in vivo implanted nodes. In most cases, it may not be feasible to support energy efficient in vivo communication given the high path loss, which may also lead to QoS outage. As a result, deploying on-body relay nodes can result in satisfying the target QoS and energy efficiency requirements. Thus, multiple in vivo sensor nodes can use multiple on-body relay nodes to forward the physiological signal information towards an on-body destination node that further transmits all gathered information to the hospital server for continuous monitoring and processing. Furthermore, a single on-body relay node can be used by multiple in vivo source nodes through a frequency division multiple access (FDMA) scheme among source nodes. However, most of the existing research focus mainly on singlehop relaying. On the other hand, multi-hop relaying can further

“…Hadda et al 37 introduced five routing strategies: thermal-aware routing protocols, cluster-based routing protocols, cross layer-based routing protocols, QoS-used earlier-aware routing protocols, and delay-tolerant-aware routing protocols. Multi-hop routing algorithms like Low-energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH), 38 Power-efficient Gathering in Sensor Information Systems (PEGASIS), 39 and Hybrid Indirect Transmissions (HIT) 40 are required for single cluster-based WBAN, where LEACH is responsible for transferring the data from sensor nodes to cluster heads or BANC with a minimum energy transmission scheme, PEGASIS is near-optimal chain-based care of data processing in terms of data fusion, which helps to reduce the amount of data transmitted between sensor nodes and the BANC, and HIT provides alternate routes to the BANC with the prevention of skin heating. This article also highlighted the advantages of the routing technique in WBAN.…”

Objective: In this article, we describe the important aspects like major characteristics, research issues, and challenges with body area sensor networks in telemedicine systems for patient monitoring in different scenarios. Present and emerging developments in communications integrated with the developments in microelectronics and embedded system technologies will have a dramatic impact on future patient monitoring and health information delivery systems. The important challenges are bandwidth limitations, power consumption, and skin or tissue protection. Materials and Methods: This article presents a detailed survey on wireless body area networks (WBANs). Results and Conclusions: We have designed the framework for integrating body area networks on telemedicine systems. Recent trends, overall WBAN-telemedicine framework, and future research scope have also been addressed in this article.

“…However, one of the key constraints envisaged is the energy efficiency issues ignored in the model. The constraints envisaged in the process is addressed in HIT (Hybrid Indirect Transmissions) [28], resulting in improved energy efficiency which is not considered in the process. In [28] authors focused on the model of data generating protocol that targets in reducing number of direct transmissions towards a sensor node base station and by focusing on multi-hop indirect transmissions towards a cluster and for multiple clusters that are adjacent.…”

Wireless body area sensor networks (WBASN) is an effective solution that has proposed in terms of improving the solutions and their varied benefits that have been achieved from the usage of WBASN solutions in communication, healthcare domain. From the review of stats on rising number of wireless devices and solutions that are coming up which is embraced by the people as wearable devices, implants for medical diagnostic solutions, etc. reflect the growing demand for effective models. However, the challenge is about the effective performance of such solutions with optimal efficiency. Due to certain intrinsic factors like numerous standards that are available, and due to the necessity for identifying the best solutions that are based on application requirements. Some of the key issues that have to be considered in the process of WBASN are about the impacts that are taking place from the wireless medium, the lifetime of batteries in the WBASN devices and the other significant condition like the coexistence of the systems among varied other wireless networks that are constituted in the proximity. In this study, scores of models that have propose pertaining to MAC protocols for WBASN solutions have reviewed to understand the efficacy of the existing systems, and a scope for process improvement has explored for conducting in detail research and developing a solution.
