摘要：With the recent advancements in nanotechnologies, Body Area Nanonetworks (BANNETs) are expected tobe a promising solution for many critical biomedical applications. Due to the extremely small size of nanomachines,serious energy limitation becomes a challenging roadblock stunting the development ofBANNETs. As an initial step towards this end, this paper focuses on the design of an energy-efficient datacollection scheme in BANNETs. First, a sleep/wake-up mechanism is introduced to avoid the unnecessaryenergy consumption when no external request comes. Then, with a careful consideration of both nodeavailable energy and transmission energy consumption, we design a new node selection strategy to furtherreduce the energy consumption in the data collection process. Finally, we conduct extensive simulations forboth the proposed data collection scheme and the benchmark greedy scheme to illustrate the energyefficiency of our scheme as well as to discuss the impacts of network parameters on network performance..
