Fuzzy Control-Based Energy-Aware Routing Protocol for Wireless Body Area Networks

Advances in medical and communication technologies have empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). WBANs interconnect with miniature sensors placed on the human body to enable medical monitoring of patient health. However, the limited battery capacity, delay, and reliability o...
