摘要：In recent years, substantial progress has been made in the medical field to integrate communication and information technology especially the Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) in healthcare systems for remote monitoring. WBANs have shown great potential in improving healthcare quality, and thus have found a wide range of applications from ubiquitous health monitoring and computer assisted rehabilitation to emergency medical response systems. WBAN operates in close vicinity to, on, or inside a human body andsupports a variety of medical applications. These types of applications can be further enhanced by integrating cloud computing technology for storing sensors' data. The information stored becomes available in the “cloud” from where it can be processed by expert systems and/or distributed to medical staff. In this work we are interested in modeling and simulation of a wireless sensor network based solution allowing distributed sensor nodes to communicate with each other in an optimal way adapted to the specific constraints. More precisely, we want to build a IEEE 802.15.6 based wireless short range sensor exchanging data between them according to a communication protocol at MAC (medium access control) level that optimizes energy consumption, transmission time and loss of information.
