  • Abstract
    Body sensor Networks (BSNs) over the span of time are increasingly becoming significant and widely adopted. They are being utilized and implemented for monitoring and measurement the physiological parameters in both human beings and animals. BSNs are comprised of number of sensor nodes located and deployed over the human body or could be deployed in wearable form over the clothes. These sensors continuously gather the set parameters data of body area, to be used in the intelligent system in smart environments. BSNs need new transmission approaches that are both effective and capable of handling the requirements that involve data transference, functioning on extremely low power levels, and motility of the body area in the smart environments. BSNs are subjected to intensive research in major methods, challenges like sensors, data gathering, and network communication and many aspects of network architecture. This paper presents a Body Sensors Network Product based on virtual Hypercube structure backbone termed Smart BodyNet. Complemented by a data gathering approach and internal routing methodology between nodes to address several challenging BSNs network design issues in a environmented contributing to the smarter world. The Hypercube is an effective interconnection network whose main hallmarks are high-quality connectivity and maximum battery life as a backbone. In this work we leverage the concept of interoperability, smart phone to perform 2 (two) tasks. First, function as a base station to process, receive the gathered data from intelligent sensor nodes and secondly, to work as a gateway for attaching the movable and portable (Smart BodyNet) product to any other networks in the potential smart world involving integrated internet of things.
