In many scenarios, it is very common that nodes have the capability of mobility. For example, the nodes in body area networks move together with the movement of users. The MAC protocol in such applications should take the group mobility into account. We introduce a simple MAC protocol which combines TDMA and FDMA to deal with the mobile clusters in wireless sensor networks. Our solution is that the nodes are classified into two different sub-networks according to their mobility. The two sub-networks utilize different frequencies to communicate and then, through the cooperation between the two networks, the uploading of packets sensed is achieved. It is an efficient way to avoid collision and interference brought by a mobile cluster.","PeriodicalId":150578,"journal":{"name":"2013 First International Symposium on Future Information and Communication Technologies for Ubiquitous HealthCare (Ubi-HealthTech)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124241382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagnosing Diseases through pulse waveforms and EEG signals by an automated system is the basic method to find the diseases and its related information about the human body. A new thresholding function based on SURE optimizing algorithm has been set for optimal threshold value by pulse waveform data.

For a better stitching result, especially in medical image processing, which needs more reliable and higher stitching precision, this paper proposes an improved method of automatic image stitching based on SURF (Speeded Up Robust Feature). In a mixed image set, we first use phase correlation to estimate if two images overlapped, and ascertain the relationship of the overlapping images, then adopt SURF algorithm to extract and match features in the overlapping parts, and at last improve image fusion strategy and use frame-by-frame expanded mosaic method to get panorama image. The experimental results show that our method is robust, which computes features with higher precision and can realize the smooth transition in images of same scenes.","PeriodicalId":150578,"journal":{"name":"2013 First International Symposium on Future Information and Communication Technologies for Ubiquitous HealthCare (Ubi-HealthTech)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133366308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our proposed framework, each sensor applies the non-seasonal Holt-Winter algorithm to detect any deviation in the time series associated with its measurements, and it will only transmit the detected abnormal values to the portable collection device (smart phone), in order to reduce the consumed energy of data transmission. As the physiological parameters are heavily correlated, the faulty measurements are usually uncorrelated with values of other sensors. Therefore, the collection device uses this correlation and its global view on the number of received deviations, to decide whether to raise an alarm for an emergency situation or to discard reported faulty measurements. Our main objective is to reduce false alarms triggered by faulty measurements.We apply our proposed approach on real physiological data set, and we prove its ability to achieve good detection accuracy with a low false alarm rate.","PeriodicalId":150578,"journal":{"name":"2013 First International Symposium on Future Information and Communication Technologies for Ubiquitous HealthCare (Ubi-HealthTech)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124409706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The statistical model plays an important role in BCWC radio propagation characterization. However, a traditional statistical model is not necessarily the best choice for limited samples. In this paper statistical modeling is performed using regression method on the mean delay data to improve the density estimation of body-centric radio propagation channel.","PeriodicalId":150578,"journal":{"name":"2013 First International Symposium on Future Information and Communication Technologies for Ubiquitous HealthCare (Ubi-HealthTech)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133838298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
