Honey-Bee based Load Balanced Packet Scheduling MAC Protocol for IoT-enabled Healthcare System

The use of Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare domain has solved the most problematic healthcare issues of human being. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a significant breakthrough of IoT. However energy efficiency & reliable transmission of Quality of Service (QoS) parameter of WBAN has been a challenging task for the researchers. In this context, a Honey-BEE algorithm has been introduce for load balance between queues and scheduling of data packets from the queues of PD. This paper has the major contribution is to minimize packet drop, resulting in enhanced WBAN QoS characteristics. The simulation results demonstrate the proposed mechanism produce significant improvement to its counterparts based on average packet delay, throughput, and energy usage and packet delivery ratio.
