Secure Publish-Subscribe Protocols for Heterogeneous Medical Wireless Body Area Networks

Secure Publish-Subscribe Protocols for Heterogeneous Medical Wireless Body Area Networks

Security and privacy issues in medical wireless body area networks (WBANs) constitute a major unsolved concern because of the challenges posed by the scarcity of resources in WBAN devices and the usability restrictions imposed by the healthcare domain. In this paper, we describe a WBAN architecture based on the well-known publish-subscribe paradigm. We present two protocols for publishing data ...

Proposed Transport Protocols Suite for Wireless Medical Body Area Networks

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) is the recent trend for localized and personalized medical services. For that purpose, several tele-medicine architectures and WBAN frameworks for patient monitoring have been proposed. This paper presents a new medical protocol MESETP (Medical Services Transport Protocol), that underlies data delivery for both real-time and non real-time medical services. Fur...

High Performance Publish/Subscribe Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Using Geographic Information

Self-Configurable Publish/Subscribe Middleware for Wireless Sensor Networks

In the publish/subscribe (pub/sub) communication scheme in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), there exist inherent tradeoffs among conflicting objectives in event publication. To address this issue, this paper investigates pub/sub middleware for WSNs, called TinyDDS. With its selfconfiguring event routing protocol, TinyDDS adaptively performs event publication according to dynamic network conditi...
