Energy aware clustering for biomedical wireless sensor networks

Biomedical Wireless Sensor Networks (BWSN) is major technique for Health Care applications for providing quality of life with minimum cost. To enforce the quality of medical care provided to the citizen, such networks should be integrated with existing network infrastructures. The requirement of quality of service should be concentrated on development stages and are monitored for the duration of network operation. The life time of the network is most relevant feature for ensuring the quality of medical care requirements. In order to increases the network lifetime, maintaining the remaining energy of each sensor node with reliable communication link throughout the network. An energy aware clustering for biomedical wireless sensor network (EACBWSN) is proposed for increasing the network lifetime by minimizing the energy consumption among sensor nodes and provides a reliable communication link between sensor nodes. The proposed algorithm efficiently prolong the lifetime of the network when compared with existing algorithm.
