Performance Optimization in WBAN Using Hybrid BDT and SVM Classifier

By Madhumita Kathuria Sapna Gambhir

Wireless Body Area Network has attracted significant research interest in various applications due to its self-automaton and advanced sensor technology. The most severe issue in WBAN is to sustain its Quality of Service (QoS) under the dynamic changing environment like healthcare, and patient monitoring system. Another critical issue in WBAN is heterogeneous packet handling in such resource-constrained network. In this paper, a new classifier having hybrid Binary Decision Tree and Support Vector Machine classifier is proposed to tackle these important challenges. The proposed hybrid classifier decomposes the N-class classification problem into N-1 sub-problems, each separating a pair of sub-classes. This protocol dynamically updates the priority of packet and node, adjusts data rate, packet transmission order and time, and resource distribution for the nodes based on node priority. The proposed protocol is implemented and simulated using NS-2 network simulator. The result generated for proposed approach shows that new protocol can outperform in a dynamic environment, and yields better performance by leveraging advantages of both the Binary Decision Tree in terms of efficient computation and Support Vector Machine for high classification accuracy. This hybrid classifier significantly reduces loss ratio and delay and increase packet delivery ratio and throughput.
