Abstract

This paper deals with intrabody nanonetworks and the importance of implementing effective routing protocols for these networks in healthcare systems. It evaluates the performance of multi-criteria routing protocols in intrabody nanonetworks by analyzing relevant research studies. The different studies are compared in terms of energy consumption, reliability, delay, and other criteria. The results show that certain routing protocols perform better than others depending on the selected criteria. Therefore, researchers must opt for the multicriteria routing protocol that best matches their application.
