Abstract
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) is the recent trend for localized and personalized medical services. For that purpose, several tele-medicine architectures and WBAN frameworks for patient monitoring have been proposed. This paper presents a new medical protocol MESETP (Medical Services Transport Protocol), that underlies data delivery for both real-time and non real-time medical services. Furthermore, performance tests of MESETP with existing real time protocols and non real-time protocols used by existing medical services are examined and comparison results are presented.

This paper presents a new protocol called MESETP for the transmission of medical data among medical sensors of different data transmission requirements
Summary
Wearable health monitoring systems (WHMS) are a commodity due to the recent technological advances in bio-sensing devices, microelectronics and wireless communication protocols [1, 2]. A wearable WHMS system transfers medical data wirelessly from a patient to a central station. Such systems are designed with patient mobility provisions [3, 4, 12, 13, 14]. Wearable Health Monitoring Systems are composed by three distinctive parts: The Central Station (CS), where the collection of data takes place, the Sensors Data Controller (SDC), where sensors instrumentation, communication protocols and logic reside and the wearable medical sensors. Medical data are transmitted to the hospital central station that performs permanent measurement database storage and applies the medical monitoring service logic [12, 13, 14]. Classification of services is imminent [14]
