Design and Implementation of Sensor Framework for U-Healthcare Services

Abstract

Ubiquitous sensor network (USN) is one of the important key technologies for future ubiquitous life. USN nodes will be distributed at any place in the future such as street, in-building, campus, and so on. These USN nodes will play various roles like sensing, gathering, transmitting and receiving information about the surround. So, most of these are implemented as wireless communication system with simple hardware architecture. ZigBee protocol is one of the representative USN systems. So, many manufacturers are developing ZigBee hardware platform and their software protocol. To more efficiently implement and deploy USN, we need to know ZigBee protocols and their characteristics. In this paper, we design and Implement a sensor framework systems related to medical and surveillance that are significantly considered for enhancing human life. These are employed under USN environment to construct multiple health care services in which medical sensors are inter-connected to provide efficient management of them. For this configuration, Zigbee based wireless bio-sensors are established for portable measurement in which PSoC technique is utilized for compact implementation. As well, such Zigbee based embedded sensor equipment is devised for UPnP based sensor framework.
