  • Employed a correlated Gaussian model for classification.
  • Optimized sample allocation to minimize transmission power and classification error probability.

    • Main Results:

    • Allocating more samples to discriminating sensors yielded 18-22% energy savings compared to equal allocation.
    • Personalized models significantly improved energy efficiency.
    • Optimal allocation was not significantly affected by current activity or performance requirements.

    Conclusions:

    • Sensor-specific sample allocation in WBANs enhances energy efficiency and reduces error probability for physical activity detection.
    • A novel, continuous-valued vector optimization method offers a computationally feasible alternative to exhaustive search for optimal allocation.
    • Personalized models are key to maximizing energy savings in mobile health monitoring systems.
