Sl. no. | Protocol [ref. no.] | Goal | Performance metrics | Compared with |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Energy efficient thermal and power aware routing (ETPA) [19] | To reduce the node’s temperature and to prevent the hotspot formation | Packet hop count, packet delivery ratio, packet delay, average temperature rise of nodes in the network, scalability, depletion time of the first node mobility | PRPLC |
2 | Prediction based secure and reliable routing framework (PSR) [20] | To provide secure and reliable routing from various data attacks | Packet dropping rate, authentication cost | Backbone protocol |
3 | Opportunistic routing [21] | To increase the network lifetime from the motion of body parts | Average energy consumption per bit | Single hop, multi hop |
4 | Distance vector routing with postural link costs (DVRPLC) [22] | To decrease end to end delay | Average delay, packet delivery ratio, packet hop count | Probabilistic protocol (PROPHET), opportunistic protocol, UTILITY |
5 | On-body store and flood routing (OBSFR) [18] | To provide better routing delay and hop count | End-to-end packet delay (PD), number of transmissions per packet (NTPP), packet delivery ratio (PDR) | PROPHET, on-body store and flood routing (OBSFR) |
6 | Probabilistic routing with postural link costs (PRPLC) [23] | To reduce end to end delay | Average delay, packet delivery ratio | PROPHET, OBSFR |
