Nowadays Intra Body Area Networks (I-BAN) are still a scarcely explored area because of the difficulties and risks in successfully propagating signals inside the body where sensor devices employing RF waves cannot be used. In this demo we will prove the feasibility of setting up an ultrasonic I-BAN employing non ionizing radiations to perform multihop communications. We will identify critical features...
Rise in population aging as well as diffusion of chronic diseases and health consciousness require constant monitoring of health conditions but also lead to increasing costs for the governments. Body Area Networks represent the next frontier in health care and are envisaged as the natural choice to provide detailed and updated information on health status to prevent health risks and diseases. However...
In the last years, nano-communications have attracted much attention as a newly promising research field. In particular, molecular communications, which exploit molecular nodes, are a powerful tool to implement communication functionalities in environments where the use of electromagnetic waves becomes critical, e.g., in the human body. In molecular communications, molecules such as proteins, DNA...
Conventional Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) use “store-carry-forward” paradigm to pass the message between the nodes that meet occasionally which results in intermittent connectivity. Once the message meets the destination, the network initiates the so called “infection recovery process” in order to remove the delivered messages from the rest of the nodes. This process starts as soon as the message...
Opportunistic networking is rapidly emerging as a suitable communication paradigm to characterize social networking applications and contents dissemination. However, due to the sparsity of the opportunistic network, it is expected that the considered mobility model will play a crucial role in the delivery performance of the opportunistic system. Accordingly in this paper we present an analysis of...
