Abstract

Routing is the key step in data communication process in wireless networks in general and in WSNs in particular. Investing in a routing policy that balances application quality of service requirements with the inherent WSNs characteristics poses non-trivial research problems. The aim of this work is to propose a new multi-path routing protocol for healthcare monitoring in big hospitals, called BFEQM (Balanced and Flexible Energy Efficient and QoS-based Multipath routing). The proposed protocol combines proactive and reactive approaches in the design of multiple paths connecting source nodes in hospital rooms and the Sink placed in the Monitoring service. The objectives of BFEQM are to maximize the packet reception rate, minimize end-to-end delay and extend network life.
