ABSTRACT
The recent development of wireless wearable sensor networks has opened up a
slew of new possibilities in industries as diverse as healthcare, medicine, activity
monitoring, sports, safety, human-machine interface, and more. The battery-
powered sensor nodes' longevity is critical to the technology's success. This
research proposes a new strategy for increasing the lifetime of wearable sensor
networks by eliminating redundant data transmissions. The proposed solution is
based on embedded classifiers that allow sensor nodes to determine whether
current sensor readings should be sent to the cluster head. A strategy was
developed to train the classifiers, which takes into account the impact of data
selection on the accuracy of a recognition system. This method was used to create
a wearable sensor network prototype for human monitoring of activity
Experiments were carried out in the real world to assess the novel method in
terms of network lifetime, energy usage, and human activity recognition
accuracy. The proposed strategy allows for a large increase in network lifetime
while maintaining excellent activity detection accuracy, according to the results
of the experimental evaluation. Experiments have also demonstrated that the
technology has advantages over state-of-the-art data transmission reduction
strategies.

I. INTRODUCTION
The majority of wireless wearable sensor networks
are made up of many sensor nodes that are attached to
the human body or incorporated in garments [1–3].
The sensor nodes can keep track of both body and
environment characteristics. Wireless data links are
used to communicate between the wearable sensor
nodes. There have been several applications of
wearable sensor networks considered in the literature
so far. Healthcare, location, activity tracking, sport,
fitness, augmented reality, safety, rescue, and
emergency management are just a few of the potential
uses.
