  3. Abstract:
  4. Implanted biomedical sensor networks provide a major application of sensor networks in the near future. Their high temperature due to wireless communication, might damage the surrounding tissues. This paper presents an efficient thermal-aware routing. Our proposed protocol states that when some nodes in the shortest path have a high temperature, ignores this path. The simulation results indicate the superiority of the proposed method compared to other thermal-aware routing protocols in terms of reducing temperature without a significant increase in packet delivery delay and power consumption of nodes. © 2009 IEEE
