Hi

As I am doing my PhD thesis on patient monitoring systems which are based
on lower power radio like IEEE 802.15.4. I will just share a part of this
to elaborate the scenario in context of patient monitoring systems.

In patient monitoring systems where life critical data requires limited
delay, high throughput and energy efficient communication simultaneously. it
is observed that wireless biomedical sensors generate a large number of
small packets in a limited time period which poses challenges for the MAC
layer, especially on channel access process.  Therefore, for mentioned
challenges TSCH proves to be expensive in terms of management and
resources, however simple hybrid channel access mechanism of IEEE is more
suitable. In the following , the traffic patterns analysis mechanism is
developed to understand the requirements of the sensor nodes in patient
monitoring systems.
