Wireless Sensor Network for Real Time Healthcare Monitoring: Network Design and Performance Evaluation Simulation

摘要

Nowadays, Wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies are considered as potential solution healthcare monitoring applications. Different researches focus on network designing network for health care monitoring wireless sensor network (HCWSN), especially in the physical design of the HCWSN. However, work to evaluate the performance these network designs is largely lacking. This paper presents a HCWSN network design and simulation study to evaluate the performance in different scenarios such as network topologies, routing and media access control protocols. A practical WSN for HCWSN and a prototype SP02 device integrated with WSN node have been designed. The testing results are also described in this paper.
