heal.abstract	Power control is an important research topic for ad-hoc Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In today's sophisticated and competitive wireless environment, the control of the energy consumption in a WSN for homecare e-health makes it possible to guarantee basic levels of system performance, such as connectivity, throughput, delay, QoS and survivability in the presence of both mobility-immobility and a large number of sensor nodes. Recent advances in sensor fabrication technology, low-power digital and analogue electronics, and low-power wireless communication systems have made it possible to develop low-cost, robust and survivable WSNs to support activities such as assisted living and ambient intelligence (Aml). A large variety of approaches for intelligent energy-efficient schemes have been simulated over different performance metrics. In this paper, various decision support schemes are proposed evaluating the selection of different network infrastructures in terms of routing optimization and signal strength selection.
