ProtocolsFocus area(s) of the paperLimitations

E-HARP [12](i) Multiattribute-based technique for dynamic cluster head (CH) selection(i) Packet delay is high
(ii) Cooperative routing(ii) Network lifetime is far short
(iii) Optimum CH is selected based on calculated cost factor (CF)(iii) Temperature of nodes in the network is very high

PCRP [13](i) Emergency data will get higher priority and less delay over normal data(i) Packets drop ratio is high
(ii) The node with greater fitness value will be selected as a next-hop node(ii) Network lifetime is less
(iii) SNR parameter is used for better selection of path between sender and receiver(iii) End-to-End delay is high

ELR-W [14](i) A link efficiency-oriented network model is presented considering beaconing information and network initialization process(i) Network lifetime is less
(ii) Path cost calculation model is derived focusing on energy aware link efficiency(ii) High End-to-End delay

EH-RCB [15](i) Clustering approach to enhance nodes connectivity with each other to balance out load on single sink node(i) Network lifetime is far short

OPOT [19](i) Routing path is established by determining the temperature of sensor nodes to avoid hotspot region(i) Path loss is high
(ii) Distance between sources to destination is measured and connection is established through shortest path to minimize delay and energy consumption(ii) Network lifetime is less
ā€‰(iii) End-to-End delay is high

Proposed EERP-DPM(i) DPM is used to reduce transmissions between sensor nodes and the medical server(i) Add vital computational overhead
(ii) Data is transmitted if it is different from the data stored in previous data sensing
(iii) The medical server always presumes that its prediction reflects the real observation if it receives corrections from sensor nodes
(iv) Health data with high priority should be directly transmitted to the aggregator
