Routing Techniques in Body Sensor Network System for Healthcare: Applications, Challenges, and Research Trends

Pre-analysis of health using sensor technologies will become quite popular during this decade and will be used by the common citizen as well. Transmission of body parameters is crucial in the Body Sensor Network (BSN) system because erroneous transmission can result in a number of problems, including energy waste, transmission delays, data loss, decreased stability, and poor data transfer efficiency. In the last ten years, many research were done to address these problems, particularly in light of the development of biosensors. This paper will discuss many research projects based on various BSN routing techniques. The author described innovative work completed for effective information transmission in a BSN and demonstrated a comparison study based on six crucial parameters: stability, network lifetime, energy efficient, reliable, network delay, and throughput. The author also discusses various challenges and research trends that have been reported by various authors throughout their research.
