<span>Wireless Body Area Sensor Network (WBASN) or Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a growing field in healthcare applications. It enables remote monitoring of patient’s physiological data through wireless communication. It is composed of sensor network which collects physiological data from the patient. There are several issues concerning WBAN such as security, power, routing protocol to address QoS metrics (reliability, end-to-end delay, and energy efficiency), etc. The focus of the study is the issue on different QoS metrics. There were several QoS aware routing protocol that has been proposed which implements multiple queues for different types of data. However, one issue on multiple queue system is starvation, end-to-end delay, and reliability. The study proposed an efficient priority queue based data transmission that improves the end-to-end delay, reliability, and queuing delay of QoS aware routing protocol.</span>
The paper presents a multiparameter aquaculture water quality tester with a decision support system. A device was developed to aid aquaculture farmers in monitoring water quality parameters and maintaining or achieving optimal levels by suggesting ways on how a farmer can respond to such measurements. The AQUACISION device measures six different water quality parameters; temperature, practical salinity, pH level, total dissolved solid (TDS), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and algae density. Measurements were sent to the AQUACISION application where they were processed to determine the course of action that was best to maintain or achieve optimal levels using fuzzy rules. Based on the comparative result, the AQUACISION was accurate in measuring temperature, practical salinity, pH level, TDS, and ORP during the actual testing. The application also received an excellent rating on the ISO/IEC 25010 software quality model standard
Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) technology enables medical services to expand its scope. It allows medical expert to monitor physiological data of patients using wireless communication. Despite of the numerous advantages it provides, WBAN still incur issues on different metrics on quality of service (QoS) such as end-to-end delay, queuing delay, and reliability. QoS metrics of the WBAN is affected on the efficiency of its queuing system. Previous studies proposed different routing algorithms to address QoS metrics which implement multiple queues to enhance data transmission of different data types. These studies used strict priority logic which serves the highest priority queue first. However, the main problem of this approach is that lower priority data may be totally blocked by a higher priority data. This paper presents an alternative priority-based queuing to address issue on QoS metrics. The results showed that the proposed algorithm decreased the end-to-end delay and queuing delay and increased the reliability of QoS aware routing protocol. Based on the implementation result, it can be seen that the proposed algorithm can be implement on WBAN.
