Adjusting forwarder nodes and duty cycle using packet aggregation routing for body sensor networks

In the body sensor networks (BSNs), the data redundancy and transmission delay are two problems for improving network performance. In the previous scheme, multi-sensor fusion is used to reduce the energy consumption of the sensor network, but it causes larger delay. To reduce the amount of redundant data and transmission delay, an adjusting forwarder nodes and duty cycle using packet aggregation routing (AFNDCAR) scheme is proposed for BSNs. The...
