Intelligence-based optimized cognitive radio routing for medical data transmission using IoT

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered an effective wireless communication, where the main challenge is to manage energy efficiency, especially in cognitive networks. The data communication protocol is a broadly used approach in a wireless network based IoT. Cognitive Radio (CR) networks are mainly concentrated on battery-powered devices for highly utilizing the data regarding the spectrum and routing allocation, dynamic spectrum access, and spectrum sharing. Data aggregation and clustering are the best solutions for enhancing the energy efficiency of the network. Most researchers have focused on solving the problems related to Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs) in terms of Spectrum allocation, Quality of Service (QoS) optimization, delay reduction, and so on. However, a very small amount of research work has focused on energy restriction problems by using the switching and channel sensing mechanism. As this energy validation is highly challenging due to dependencies on various factors like scheduling priority to the registered users, the data loss rate of unlicensed channels, and the possibilities of accessing licensed channels. Many IoT-based models involve energy-constrained devices and data aggregation along with certain optimization approaches for improving utilization. In this paper, the cognitive radio framework is developed for medical data transmission over the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) network. The energy-efficient cluster-based data transmission is done through cluster head selection using the hybrid optimization algorithm named Spreading Rate-based Coronavirus Herding-Grey Wolf Optimization (SR-CHGWO). The network lifetime is improved with a cognitive- routing based on IoT framework to enhance the efficiency of the data transmission through the multi-objective function. This multi-objective function is derived using constraints like energy, throughput, data rate, node power, and outage probability delay of the proposed framework. The simulation experiments show that the developed framework enhances the energy efficiency using the proposed algorithm when compared to the conventional techniques.
