[# PeerJ Staff Note: Please ensure that all review and editorial comments are addressed in a response letter and any edits or clarifications mentioned in the letter are also inserted into the revised manuscript where appropriate.  It is a common mistake to address reviewer questions in the response letter but not in the revised manuscript. If a reviewer raised a question then your readers will probably have the same question so you should ensure that the manuscript can stand alone without the response letter.  Directions on how to prepare a response letter can be found at: https://peerj.com/benefits/academic-rebuttal-letters/ #]

Basic reporting

The Research Paper is Ok. And novel protocol is being proposed, but the paper needs more technical revisions and is subject for re-review.
Literature review, and the proposed work needs more technical structure information to be elaborated.

Experimental design

Experimental design is Ok. But needs more technical layout.

Validity of the findings

Results are Ok. But analysis part is weak. And needs to be discussed with more detailed description.

Additional comments

The Paper needs the following Strong Revisions and is subject for re-review, and after re-review, the final decision for the paper will be taken:

1. Introduction should be added with more information with regard to the Problem Definition, scope and even with some Background. Add Objectives of the paper at the end of Introduction. Add Organization of the paper.

2. Min 15-25 papers should be cited under literature review, and every paper should be elaborated with what is being observed, what is the novelty aspect and what experimental results are observed. At the end of literature review, highlight what overall technical gaps are observed that led to the design of the proposed methodology.

3. Give a Novel name of the proposed protocol---And add this in Title, Abstract and other sections uniformly in the paper. And under proposed protocol- Give the heading of the proposed protocol--Start with System Model. Then highlight the Architecture- Give Steps, Flowchart and Algorithm of the proposed protocol.

4. Under experimentation- Add Simulation Parameters in Table.
Add assumptions of simulation.
Give the detailed description of every point of testing under seperate head.
Give the Data based table of the values of experimentation.

5. Add some Analysis section and do performance evaluation with more existing proposed protocols/.

6. Add future scope to this paper.

7. Add some more latest references to the paper.

Reviewer 2 ·

Basic reporting

Topic selection is good and basic impression of paper falls positive.

Experimental design

Proposed algorithm must be properly explained in text.

Validity of the findings

Fine

Additional comments

Highlight all assumptions and limitations of your work.
Mention time complexity of entire pipeline.
Mention all figures properly in text.

Reviewer 3 ·

Basic reporting

Professional Proofread and English are required. References and literature review is sufficient.

Experimental design

The rationale, aim, and objectives may need to be clearly defined in the Abstract and other sections.

Validity of the findings

Consistency is missing in the paper. Conclusion, Limitation, and Future scope needs revision for more clarity and enhancing the readability of the paper.

Additional comments

The authors are working on an important area of research. Few observations:
1. The main rationale/objective of the paper needs to be added in the abstract and Introduction.
2. The writing is ambiguous and more clarity is required to enhance the readability of the paper.
3. Consistency is missing in the paper. Conclusion, Limitation, and Future scope needs revision and elaborations for more clarity and enhancing the readability of the paper.
4. Mathematical Equations and paper require thorough proofread.
5. Figure 1 is talking about its application in healthcare, though in the paper authors mentioned having its applications in various domains, then rationale of providing only for healthcare is missing.
