Abstract
The main topic of this research is the analysis and design of specific communication protocols. These must allow high reliability of data transfer, low power consumption, location estimation and roaming. The analysis of existing communication protocols that meet these criteria is required by the co-financer of the submitted project, who is developing a medical portable personal monitoring device. The latter is intended for uninterupted online monitoring of vital functions of a patient that is being transferred from the intensive care unit to the ordinary wards. By means of intelligent sensors this device monitors the patient's vital functions (e.g. ECG, body temperature, non-invasive blood pressure, chest expasnion, etc.). The acquired data is by means of wireless communication transmitted to the supervising computer which performs real time analysis of the patient's vital functions. The primary result of this research is the design of an efficient communication protocol that meets the above mentioned criteria and will base on standard solutions. The main reason for designing a new protocol is because standard communication protocols (such as TCP/IP) do not allow power consumption monitoring and location estimation. The optimization of power consumption is of critical importance because the medical portable personal monitoring device is battery powered. This means that power consumption directly affects the autonomy of the device. As a consequence lowering power consumption can lead to the decrease of data transfer reliability and shorter communication range. Dealing with the first weakness requires the special communication protocols. Dealing with the second requires the increase of the number of base stations, shortening their distance and also support for roaming. Location estimation will be solved using data from the base stations.
