Novel MAC Protocol and Middleware Designs for Wearable Sensor-Based Systems for Health Monitoring

We propose a middleware platform built on wireless USB (WUSB) over wireless body area networks (WBAN) hierarchical protocol for wearable health-monitoring systems (WHMS). The proposed middleware platform is composed of time-synchronization and localization solutions. It is executed on the basis of W...
