Effect of sensor specific body location on wireless network routing performance

The effect of locating wireless sensors on a monitored patient’s body on the performance of routing protocols is studied. Results indicate a considerable difference in sensor node forwarding activity, power consumption, and routing load as a function of sensor height. The Results motivate exploiting...

Description
Summary:The effect of locating wireless sensors on a monitored patient’s body on the performance of routing protocols is studied. Results indicate a considerable difference in sensor node forwarding activity, power consumption, and routing load as a function of sensor height. The Results motivate exploiting this criteria to develop new energy-efficient routing strategies.
