An Energy Aware Clustering Scheme for 5G-enabled Edge Computing based IoMT Framework (2204.06850v1)

Abstract: In recent years, 5G network systems start to offer communication infrastructure for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, especially for health care service pro-viders. In smart health care systems, edge computing enabled Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an innovative technology to provide online health care monitor-ing facility to patients. Here, energy consumption, along with extending the lifespan of biosensor network, is a key concern. In this contribution, a Chicken Swarm Optimization algorithm, based on Energy Efficient Multi-objective clus-tering scheme is applied in the context of IoMT system. An effective fitness func-tion is designed for cluster head selection., using multiple objectives, such as re-sidual energy, queuing delay, communication cost, link quality and node centrali-ty. Simulated outcomes of the proposed scheme are compared with the existing schemes in terms of parameters such as cluster formation time, energy consump-tion, network lifetime, throughput and propagation delay.
