Energy Efficiency Optimization Based on Context Awareness in Wearable Computing

The motion capture system of the wireless wearable device can achieve identification and classification of human motion through various classifiers, but wireless data transmission consumes most of the energy of the sensor node. An adaptive wireless transmission control algorithm based on context awareness is proposed realize energy efficiency optimization based on single classifier and multiple classifiers fusion. Firstly, adaptive wireless transmission control method based on fixed single classifier can effectively improve the overall energy efficiency under the limit of classification accuracy. Secondly, adaptive transmission control method of multi-classifier fusion is proposed with adjusting decision threshold based on various classifiers and their characteristics. The experimental results validate our proposed algorithm.
