Abstract
The wide diffusion of healthcare monitoring systems allows continuous patient to be remotely monitored and diagnosed by doctors. The problem of congestion, namely due to the uncontrolled increase of traffic with respect to the network capacity, is one of the most common phenomena affecting the reliability of transmission of information in any network. The aim of the paper is to build a realistic simulation environment for healthcare system including some of the main vital signs model, wireless sensor and mesh network protocols implementation. The simulator environment is an efficient mean to analyze and evaluate in a realistic scenario the healthcare system performance in terms of reliability and efficiency.
Highlights
The recent increased interest in distributed and flexible wireless pervasive applications has drawn great attention to the QoS (Quality of Service) requirements of WNCS (Wireless Network Control System) architectures based on WSANs (Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks) ([1])

Summary
The recent increased interest in distributed and flexible wireless pervasive applications has drawn great attention to the QoS (Quality of Service) requirements of WNCS (Wireless Network Control System) architectures based on WSANs (Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks) ([1]). WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) technology has recently significantly increased the potential of remote healthcare monitoring systems In a more advanced WBAN, a patient’s sensor can even use a neighbor sensor to relay its data if the patient is too far away from the central server (e.g. the hospital data storage). This communication mode is called “multi-hop” wireless transmission. WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) technology has significantly increased the potentiality of the remote healthcare monitoring systems [12,18].
