Abstract

Due to the advances made in sensing, computing and networking, continuous monitoring and just-in-time prevention through Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) in healthcare becomes a promising approach. In order to support healthcare needs, WBAN must achieve reliable data delivery and efficient resource management. To develop such healthcare solutions, understanding of system operations and performance evaluation in realistic settings beforehand will be an essential step. The main requirement is to visualize detailed node states and protocol operations considering RF channel characteristics around the body and their correlation on dynamic body postures. In this paper, we present the design and development of a testbed for WBAN that supports visualization of network operations as well as evaluation of system performance. We also identify challenges and requirements for developing WBAN healthcare applications. Then, we explain the system architecture and implementation as well as the experiment design and scenarios related to the proposed testbed.

无线体域网络可视化与性能评价试验台的研制

由于传感、计算和网络技术的进步，通过无线体域网络(WBAN)在医疗保健领域进行持续监测和及时预防成为一种很有前途的方法。为了支持医疗保健需求，WBAN必须实现可靠的数据传递和有效的资源管理。要开发此类医疗保健解决方案，事先了解实际环境中的系统操作和性能评估将是必不可少的一步。主要要求是可视化详细的节点状态和协议操作，考虑到身体周围的射频信道特性及其与动态身体姿势的相关性。在本文中，我们提出了一个WBAN测试平台的设计和开发，该平台支持网络运行的可视化以及系统性能的评估。我们还确定了开发WBAN医疗保健应用程序的挑战和要求。然后，我们解释了系统的架构和实现，以及与所提出的测试平台相关的实验设计和场景。
