Interference Aware Scheduling of Sensors in IoT Enabled Health-Care Monitoring System

摘要

As the population is increasing worldwide, huge need arises to provide proper health-care services. With the advent of modern technologies the need-gap may be augmented. Sensor is one such technology which can be used to enable Internet of Things based health-care monitoring system. In this paper, implementation of such a system is described. In a real time health monitoring system, there are many sensors connected to a local data processing unit through a shared channel having a fixed bandwidth. These sensors have a wide variety of channel access requirements. The access to the channel should be discrete, so that each and every sensor avails the required bandwidth and delay in the shared channel. In this paper, a scheduling technique is proposed for the IoT based system, which nullify interference among different sensors and consequent distortation of precious health data. Implementation of this technique in our prototype health-care monitoring application is discussed in this paper.
