Profile-based Protocol for Data Interactions in Body Sensor Networks

The paper presents an application level protocol for data interactions in local networks of embedded devices and its adaptation for Personal Health Systems and Body Sensor networks. The protocol uses profiles to improve scalability and applicability and to ease the customization for different application areas. Profiles are described in XML to be easily processed and written. The profile can describe the device parameters and application-specific context. Finally, to demonstrate the use of profiles as an extension for describing the particular application of the protocol the scenario of body sensor network will be used.
