Abstract

Versatile wireless home networks provide a convenient means for keeping track of health with appropriate biosensors. It utilizes existing network for A/V and computing applications is presented in this paper. The system provides reliable communication channels for a number of consumer applications while optimal allocation of resources is provided with an interoperability specification for an IEEE 802.11 based network connecting to an external wireless telemedicine system. Each device is identified with an RFID tag and the system allocates necessary network resources with adequate QoS assurance for a given application.
