Abstract :
This paper presents a new concept of MAC and LOAD protocols for IP based ubiquitous healthcare system. The system used IEEE 802.15.4 standard lowpan with integrated IPv6. For healthcare system we added LOAD (6lowpan Ad-hoc on Demand Distance Vector) and MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols in Harvanpsilas 6lowpan stack. 6lowpan stack has ability to connect the physical environment in real-world applications such as healthcare, wireless sensor network, network technology etc. IP-enable motes set on the patient body for retrieving biomedical from body in PAN. PAN network connected PC via gateway or base station for further analysis or to the doctorpsilas PDA (personal digital assistant). The doctor can recognize or analysis patient data from anywhere on globe by internet service provider equipments (PDA). Result shows the performance biomedical data packets in multi-hope routing as well as represents the topology of the networks. TelosB motes were tested on octopus simulator in tinyOS2.02 for performance of biomedical data communication and network topology.
