Battery Friendly Internet of Medical Media Things Networks

Abstract

Rapid proliferation in the medical wearable device market has become the center of attention and changed the every corner of the medical world for the effective and economical information transmission, but because of the tiny size and high power drain more battery charge is consumed, so to remedy that problem this paper proposes ON-OFF Battery Friendly Algorithm (OBFA) to minimize the energy drain and hence to enhance the battery lifetime of these portable devices. Patient’s bio-signals such as, electrocardiogram (ECG) data from World’s larger database, i.e., PhysioNet is taken and examined with our proposed OBFA for further transmission over joint IoT and Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSNs). Experimental platform reveals that battery charge consumption is reduced and lifetime is improved in comparison with traditional baseline scheme.
