面向无线体域网通信的最优温度—QoS 感知路由协议

摘要

无线体域网（WBAN）已成为应对人口老龄化、医疗设施不足以及各类慢性疾病等问题的一种有前景的解决方案。WBAN 面向实时应用，其需求正不断增长。然而，由于网络结构持续变化、供电受限、计算能力受约束以及能量约束，实现服务质量（QoS）保障是一项困难的任务。为缓解上述限制，本文提出了一种面向 WBAN 通信的最优温度—QoS 感知路由协议（OTQRP），并从温升、能耗和时延三个方面考察了其效果。结果表明，与已有工作相比，本文方法具有更好的能量效率。最后，本文还从复杂度、时延和能量经济性等特征出发，将 OTQRP 与近期研究进行了对比，结果显示 OTQRP 的综合表现优于其他方法。

Abstract

Wireless body area network (WBAN) has emerged as a promising solution to address problems such as population aging, a lack of medical facilities, and different chronic ailments. WBANs have real-time applications, and there is an increasing demand for them. However, due to changing network structure, power supply limitations, and constrained computing capacity, energy constraints, it is difficult task to achieve quality of service (QoS). To mitigate these limitations, the paper proposed an optimal thermo-QoS-aware routing protocol (OTQRP) for WBAN communication. The result was investigated in terms of temperature rise, energy consumption and delay. The paper shows better energy efficiency with respect to existing works. Finally, OTQRP feature comparison is also presented with recent research in terms of features such as complexity, latency, and energy economy and observed that OTQRP shows best performance as compared to others.
