LTRT: Least Total-Route Temperature Routing for Embedded Biomedical Sensor Networks

In this paper, we propose Least Total-Route- Temperature (LTRT), a thermal aware routing algorithm, to reduce temperature caused by biomedical sensors implanted in human bodies. In the proposed scheme, nodes´ temperatures are converted into graph weights and minimum temperature routes are obtained. Simulations are conducted to show the advantages of the proposed scheme when comparing with three other related schemes.
