MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611018742 A) filed by Ms. Mitu Sehgal; Dr. Sandip Kumar Goyal; Dr. Sunil Kumar; Dr. Amit Kumar Dubey; Dr. Sorabh Gupta; and Ms. Rashmi Makkar, Samalkha, Haryana, on Feb. 19, for 'energy-efficient adaptive routing system for wireless body area networks using dynamic multi-cluster heads.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Mitu Sehgal; Dr. Sandip Kumar Goyal; Dr. Sunil Kumar; Dr. Amit Kumar Dubey; Dr. Sorabh Gupta; and Ms. Rashmi Makkar.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an energy-efficient routing system for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBNs) that integrates adaptive node ranking, dynamic clustering and multi-cluster-head opportunistic forwarding. Each sensor node periodically evaluates residual energy, distance to a base station and radio-link quality to compute a ranking score. Nodes with high scores are elected as primary or backup cluster heads, while other nodes act as cluster members. Data packets are forwarded towards the base station by selecting next-hop nodes with superior ranking scores and positive progress, with multiple candidates competing to relay packets through an opportunistic timer-based mechanism. A congestion-aware component modulates forwarding behavior under heavy load. The architecture reduces energy consumption, balances forwarding duties across nodes, lowers delay and improves packet delivery ratio compared with traditional geographic or state-based routing protocols. The invention is implementable in software executed on standard sensor-node hardware and validated through simulation in dense WBN scenarios."
