An Energy Efficient Trust Based Routing Scheme Using Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization for Wireless Sensor Based Healthcare Networks

Healthcare networks are so sensitive and requires faster yet reliable data transmission. The problem based on congestion degrades the resources that lead to the failure of sensor nodes and faulty node misbehavior. In addition to this, increased energy computation, network performance minimizes the network lifetime. So to overcome such drawbacks, this paper proposes trust-based congestion aware using Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (HPSO) in Wireless Sensor based Healthcare Networks (WSHN). The proposed approach comprises two significant phases. The initial phase involves the calculation of congestion state among various nodes and the of trust values. Thus an optimal congestion metric is obtained. In the second phase, two diverse metrics namely distance and trust congestion metrics are executed using HPSO algorithm for optimal data packet routing from the base stations to the source node. This article presents a novel HPSO algorithm that utilises two distinct operators, namely the emigration and immigration processes, as well as the mutation process of the Bio-geographical based Optimization (BBO) algorithm, for presenting the optimal data routing protocol. The experimental outcomes and comparison analysis demonstrate that the proposed strategy outperforms several alternative approaches.
