Title
Solutions for inter-connectivity and security in a smart hospital building
Abstract
The last few years, significant advances provide better solutions for interconnectivity and security in Intelligent Buildings (IBs). An overview of these advances is presented in this paper. Also, in this paper, we presented a patient monitoring system for hospital buildings and a Building Management System (BMS) layered design. Then, we made a comparative analysis of our system over other similar systems and presented the benefits that our approach has. Moreover, we proposed some security solutions that came out from the design and from further research. Also, a comparative analysis of our system over other similar systems is shown in this paper. Then, the benefits of our design are listed and explained. Finally, we have studied and used the Contiki OS and the Cooja emulator, and we have created simulations, which helped us have a more detailed and realistic image of our system. The results from the transmission of the packets of data are significant, since the protocol we use (CoAP), has a very low percentage, if not zero, of the packets, lost. Using the Cooja emulator we track the trafficc in and out of the network in real time. So, it seems to be a very useful tool which offers, except the traffic, diagrams and other metrics which describe our system. As future work, we are going to emulate our entire system with such tools like the Cooja emulator. Then, if the results are the expected, we will move on with the implementation of such a system. This paper will be a start point for better future decisions in designing intelligent building systems.
