Sensors, Vol. 20, Pages 6267: Energy Harvested and Cooperative Enabled Efficient Routing Protocol (EHCRP) for IoT-WBAN Sensors doi: 10.3390/s20216267 Authors: Muhammad Dawood Khan Zahid Ullah Arshad Ahmad Bashir Hayat Ahmad Almogren Kyong Hoon Kim Muhammad Ilyas Muhammad Ali The health industry is one of the most auspicious domains for the application of Internet of Things (IoT) based technologies. Lots of studies have been carried out in the health industry field to minimize the use of resources and increase the efficiency. The use of IoT combined with other technologies has brought quality advancement in the health sector at minimum expense. One such technology is the use of wireless body area networks (WBANs), which will help patients incredibly in the future and will make them more productive because there will be no need for staying at home or a hospital for a long time. WBANs and IoT have an integrated future as WBANs, like any IoT application, are a collection of heterogeneous sensor-based devices. For the better amalgamation of the IoT and WBANs, several hindrances blocking their integration need to be addressed. One such problem is the efficient routing of data in limited resource sensor nodes (SNs) in WBANs. To solve this and other problems, such as transmission of duplicate sensed data, limited network lifetime, etc., energy harvested and cooperative-enabled efficient routing protocol (EHCRP) for IoT-WBANs is proposed. The proposed protocol co...
