Reliable Mobility Support for e-Health Monitoring: A Performance Evaluation
Zinon Zinonos, Vasos Vassiliou, Klitos Christodoulou · 2018
Applying Wireless Sensor Networks to industry settings requests the dynamic reaction of mobile nodes. In critical applications, such as, e-health monitoring of workers, the existence of a suitable protocol to efficiently handle the hand-off procedure is essential for the real-time monitoring of mobile nodes. The main contribution of this paper is a comprehensive performance evaluation considering different single and multiple metric options. The results confirm that the implementation of a fuzzy method to control the triggering procedure outperforms solutions that are based only on single metric approaches.
