Semantic edge computing and IoT architecture for military health services in battlefield

In this paper, we are visualizing a military health service (MHS) platform which is based on hierarchical IoT architecture. We propose a semantic Edge based network model which plays a significant role for communicating tactical and non-tactical piece of information over the network. Further, the exchange of information and subsequent data analysis on the MHS makes the system intelligent and smart. In any standard battlefield scenario, there is a command and control center that correlates the events happening in real time. We have made this command and control center as semantic edge component. This center is entrusted with making vital decisions on the tactical arena of the battlefield. The main aim of the proposed architecture is to provide secured zone to monitor soldiers health and their weapons conditions, respectively. We have also introduced the semantic edge computing mechanism to deal with the large amount of health data in terms of processing, storing and sharing information.
