AI Based Energy Efficient Lossless Data Compression Algorithm for WBAN
摘要
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) are very important for continuous health monitoring. Since they have a limited battery life, they always suffer with significant energy constraints. This paper proposes an AI-based, energy-efficient, lossless data compression algorithm to address this challenge. By leveraging Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), the algorithm efficiently compresses data, reducing energy consumption associated with data transmission and reception. VAEs offer several advantages, including adaptability, efficient feature extraction, contextual awareness, and superior redundancy reduction. Their probabilistic nature and latent space representation make them ideal for handling the variability in WBAN data. The proposed solution aims to prolong the device lifetime by reducing the power consumption and thereby reducing the ecological footprint of WBAN sensor nodes, ensuring safer and more sustainable health monitoring.
