Energy Harvesting Implementation in WBAN Routing Protocols with Multi-Relay Co-Operation

Le résumé fourni par la source

Mostly simulations are used to evaluate the performance of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). The recent researches are focused on channel modelling and energy conservation at the Network/MAC layer. Normally, collaborative learning, path loss, and energy harvesting are ignored in these schemes of studies. In this research, we will try to use an Energy Harvesting (EH) mechanism to recharge the batteries instead of replacing them time and again. In contrast with the existing studies, the proposed scheme considers collaborative learning and energy harvesting. Cost functions are used to identify the most feasible wireless route from a given node to the sink while sharing each other’s distance and residual energy information. The human body temperature (thermal energy) and the pumping of the heart can be used for energy harvesting within the body, while solar energy can be used for energy harvesting of nodes on the human body.
