Multi - Objective Optimization of Electrocardiogram Monitoring Network for Elderly Patient in Home

Abstract

The most challenges of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) are energy consumption because its works using limited resource like battery and end-to-end delay because it is used to transmit real time parameters of patients' health status like Electrocardiogram (ECG). In this paper we present and discuss the modeling of a multi objective problem. The first objective is the minimization of the end to end delay; the second objective is maximization of the energy efficiency of the network depending on packets payload size. We use jMetal to test the problem using three genetic algorithms (NSGA-II, SPEA-II and OMOPSO) and we compare between them.
