A Reliable Sensor Data Collection
Network for Health Monitoring
Shruti Shrivastava, Priyanka Deodi and Mukta Bhatele
Abstract In this paper we propose system architecture for smart healthcare based
on an advanced wireless sensor network (WSN). This paper presents a method for
reliably collecting data events from sensors and forwarding the data via a mobile
ad hoc network (MANET) to sensor monitoring stations located on an external
network. At the core is a MANET concept that consists of ground and unmanned
aircraft (UA) nodes. UA enable a model whereby widely spaced sensors are
intermittently connected to the network and data are sent in stages as connections
become available along each stage. This paper describes our efforts to build such a
network for a real application. The paper describes the sensor data collection
model, the reliable multicast data delivery mechanism, and our experiences so far
in this project. In particular, it describes our existing network test bed and the
control of an UA through a MANET. It specifically targets assisted living residents
and others who may benefit from continuous, remote health monitoring. We
present the advantages, objectives, and status of the design.

Introduction
This paper considers the role of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) to support
sensor data collection [ 1 ]. In this model an area has intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance (ISR), environmental monitoring, or other sensors that can range
