Abstract

The healthcare sector is forever advancing, and one of the key technologies that have started playing a part in better patient care and management is Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in 5G-enabled IoT healthcare networks provide better data transmission rate and very low latency. But despite all that, IoT devices still have over-the-top energy consumptions requiting attention. In this work, an innovative energy harvesting framework is introduced for D2D communication adapted to the 5G IoT healthcare networks based on described scenario. These communication protocols are integrated in the framework with other appropriate energy-harvesting techniques such as radio frequency (RF) energy extraction, ambient energy sources, and wireless power transfer (WPT). The framework also uses optimization algorithms to distribute energy resources dynamically so that the devices have a longer lifespan and can minimize downtime. Energy harvesting when seamlessly integrated with 5G technology more improves the reliability and sustainability of IoT devices in healthcare, will eliminate or lower the frequency of recharging or battery replacement. Simulation results show a significant enhancement in energy efficiency, network reliability, and system performance when compared to traditional models. It offers a hopeful idea in terms of efficient energy consumption aspect for future IoT wireless healthcare network.

Keywords: Energy Harvesting, Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication, 5G Networks, IoT Healthcare, Wireless Power Transfer, Energy Optimization.
