An Application Layer Proposal based on the Standard IEEE 11073 for Simulation of Digital Health Applications in Wireless Body Networks
Abstract
Simulating new protocols in WirelessBody Area Networks (WBANs) is important to evaluate new proposals before developing a real implementation. However, WBAN simulators only provide generic network applications, thus it is not possible to simulate a health device in a WBAN network. Therefore, this work proposes an application layer based on the ISO/IEEE 11073 Standard (X73-PHD) for simulating e-health applications in WBANs. Our proposal is implemented for the Castalia simulator, using the Antidote library, an open im- plementation of X73-PHD. Simulation results show that the X73-PHD standard communication model does not perform well due to long timeouts defined in the standard. Therefore, this paper also proposes a new communication mode, which reduces the exchange of control packets and the number of associations made by personal health devices in WBANs.
