Sensor fast proxy mobile IPv6 (SFPMIPv6)-A framework for mobility supported IP-WSN for improving QoS and building IoT

Recently it has been observed that internet of things (IoT) technology is being introduced in medical environment to achieve a global connectivity with the patient, sensors and everything around it. The main goal of this global connectivity is to provide a context awareness to make the patient´s life easier and the clinical process more effective. IPv6, the new Internet Protocol has made every grain of sand on earth addressable and thus emergence of a new technology called IoT. IoT is simply a machine to machine M2M communication and Sensor nodes are proved to be best suited for this new technology. IPv6 over low power wireless personal area network (6LoWPAN) has attracted lots of attention recently as it can be used for communication of IoT. This paper provides a framework for medical environment, for reducing handoff (HO) latency and signaling overhead while the patient is on the move inside the hospital premises and further it can be applied to other domains also where can be applicable. Sensor nodes can be used for collecting the particular parameters of human body which constitutes wireless body area network (WBAN). The proposed framework surely reduces the signaling overhead and thus the HO latency and hence there will be an improvement in QoS.
