A Distributed Continua AHD System with ZigBee/PAN-IF Gateway and Continua QoS Control Mechanism

چکیده
In a residential or nursing home environment, using ZigBee/802.15.4 wireless network specifically to collect and gather various types of personal health data proves to be a feasible choice. The Continua Guidelines has defined both the sensor-LAN IF (sensor Local Area Network Interface) PHD (Personal Health Device) and PAN IF (Personal Area Network Interface) PHD, but only a Continua certified sensor-LAN IF PHD with Zigbee HC (Health Care) profile can connect with Continua AHD (Application Hosting Device) through Zigbee/802.15.4 network and allows data communicating between AHD and PHDs. In this paper, we present a distributed Continua AHD system design that divides the AHD device containing Continua PAN IF into Continua AHD Host and Continua AHD Gateway with communication through ZigBee/802.15.4 network. Under this structure, a Continua PHD connects with a Continua AHD Host through Continua AHD Gateway within ZigBee/802.15.4 network. One immediate advantage of the proposed system is that both of the Continua sensor-LAN IF and PAN IF PHDs can connect with Continua AHD (Host) through ZigBee/802.15.4 network. To further address the QoS (Quality of Service) issue for Continua PAN IF message transmission in a ZigBee network, we present a software approach to automatically determine the types of packet transmitted and execute Continua QoS control. Together with the QoS mechanism in the enhanced ZigBee MAC Layer, this approach realizes a complete Continua QoS control mechanism for the distributed AHD system. OPEN ACCESS J. Sens.

Designing wireless sensor networks should meet appropriate parameters such as quality of service (QoS) defined by different users. The variable physical conditions of the environment, processing and transmission power limitations and limited communication capabilities are the most important obstacles that influence QoS parameters such as throughput, delay, reliability and network lifetime. The ...

متن کاملSemi-terminal Continua in Kelley Spaces
A continuum K in a space X is said to be semi-terminal if at least one out of every two disjoint continua in X intersecting K is contained in K. Based on this concept, new structural results on Kelley continua are obtained. In particular, two decomposition theorems for Kelley continua are presented. One of these theorems is an improved version of the aposyndetic decomposition theorem for Kelley...
متن کاملOn the Topology of Grid Continua
One-dimensional and two-dimensional continua belong to the basic notions of settheoretical topology and represent a subfield of the theory of dimensions developed by P. Urysohn and K. Menger. In this paper basic definitions and properties of grid continua in R2 and R3 are summarised. Particularly, simple one-dimensional grid continua in R2 and in R3, and simple closed two-dimensional grid conti...

In this paper a study is made of continuous collections of decomposable continua on a spherical surface. Properties of the decomposition spaces of such collections filling up continua are established, and a characterization of the decomposition spaces of such collections filling up a spherical surface is obtained. The results of the present paper are related to certain results obtained by R. D....
