Wireless sensor networks in application to patients health monitoring

This work presents an application of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) of random access with one-way transmission to the monitoring of hospital patients. In the paper, we consider WSN single-hop network using one single radio frequency, such that all nodes are divided into several groups depending on the average time between the transmission due to the different state of health of patients. We apply the Poisson Arrivals See Time Averages (PASTA) to modeling of WSN. We present formula for the probability of collisions which has been verified by simulation studies of network.
