An Intelligent Health Monitoring System based on Secure Distributed Routing in Wireless Body Area Networks

Abstract

Security analysis in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a case study remote health monitoring as after measure for deploying security and routing features is introduced in this research paper. This research work is focused on the security factor of WBAN technology during the sensed data packet transmission by a sensor node from the patient body using the routing protocol. An Intelligent Health Monitoring (IHM) system based on Secure Distributed and Energy Efficient Routing (SDEER) protocol in WBAN technology using the Feed Forward Back Propagation Neural Network (F2-BPNN) with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) as an optimization algorithm is proposed in this research to solve out the security constraints. This experimental study designed and develop a simulator of WBAN using the MATLAB R2016a Software with artificial intelligence toolbox and optimization toolboxes. We have considered the three-tier communication in the IHM system such as Intra-WBAN communication, Inter-WBAN communication, and Beyond-WBAN communication using the SDEER protocol. Where F2BPNN technique used to select cluster heads or relays or intermediate sensor nodes based on their residual energy and distance from the receiver node. When the evaluation parameters of proposed IHM system is compared with a few other state-of-art methods, the proposed routing protocol achieves the best performance in terms of throughput, energy consumption, and queue size and it is observed that proposed IHM system is significantly prolonged the network lifetime by reducing the energy consumption rate. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.
