The fifth generation (5G) wireless system aims to support body sensor networks (BSNs) by increasing the interconnectivity of electronic devices. BSNs in the 5G era will enable many interesting applications, for example, medical services. In these applications, sensor networks collect sensitive information of individual human beings. Thus, security becomes significantly important in BSNs. However, many key distribution protocols are based on pre-deployed secrets. There are some problems: It is difficult to update predeployed secrets after they are compromised, or users want to re-deploy a device node. In this paper, we propose several security protocols including two key establishment protocols for BSNs by using visible light communications (VLCs). These protocols have a number of advantages. First, they can be widely applied in current BSNs without extra conditions because VLCs can be supported in most BSNs. Second, these protocols do not need pre-shared secrets; thus, it is not necessary for users to change pre-shared secrets if they are compromised. Experiments and analysis further show that (1) VLCs based on on-off keying are preferred; (2) computation and communication burden of these protocols are acceptable; and (3) these protocols bring little burden on users.

“…The features of low power consumption and data rate have made IEEE 802.15.4 being an active candidate for these applications. In [29], the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 in u-healthcare applications is analyzed through experiments. Additionally, simulation has been widely used in the performance evaluation of other wireless protocols.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely applied in industrial applications especially since the release of IEEE 802.15.4 standard. By participating in an automobile project in which an IEEE 802.15.4 based sensor and actuator network is deployed to measure and control the vibrations of an automotive system, we need to study many metrics of IEEE 802.15.4 sensor networks (e.g., packet delivery rate,latency and energy consumption) under various sampling rates. In order to provide detailed modeling of hardware and software as well as network behaviors on each sensor node, we conduct plenty of experiments on a SystemC-based WSN simulator IDEA1 which supports the hardware and software co-simulation of sensor nodes with certain flexibility of abstraction level. Compared with the existing works on performance evaluation of IEEE 802.15.4 protocols, the main contributions of this paper are the comprehensive studies of both beacon-enabled and nonbeacon-enabled modes under various parameter settings and the beacon tracking synchronization mechanism in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard which is ignored in most previous works. Additionally, the in-depth analysis of simulation results enables us to find the best parameter configurations to different traffic loads and application requirements which can be used as general experiences for other applications. Prepared using dacauth.cls [Version: 2010/03/27 v2.00] 2 W. DU, ET AL.which is a more powerful node in charge of collecting the sensor data from all nodes. Based on the analysis of collected data, some control actions are executed by the actuator network.In this industrial application, some preliminary designs based on the existing node hardware platforms and network protocols shall be evaluated at first. We need to study many metrics of this sensor network (e.g., packet delivery rate and latency) under various sampling rates and consider the power consumption of sensor nodes since they are wireless communication modules with small size to minimize the impact of measurement hardware on original automobile system. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely used in industrial automations [2] since the IEEE 802.15.4 standard has been released [3]. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 protocols based on MICAz motes [4] through simulation since it is the most direct and efficient method to perform this study compared with mathematical analysis or experimental testbeds.Many general-purpose network simulators like NS-2 [5] and OMNeT++ [6] have been used in WSN simulations. For example, a Petri-net based simulation model of a wireless mobile ad hoc network is developed in [7]. The simulation model was implemented in terms of a class of extended Petri nets to explicitly represent parallelism of events and processes in the WLAN as a distributed system. Generally, the network simulators have the advantages of extensibility, heterogeneity support and easy-to-use. However, the energy consumption estimation is usually based on some simple assumptions, for examp...

Due to the development of information technology (IT), it has been applied to various fields such as the smart home, medicine, healthcare, and the smart car. For these fields, IT has been providing continuous prevention and management, including health conditions beyond the mere prevention of disease, improving the quality of life. e-Healthcare is a health management and medical service to provide prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and the follow-up management of diseases at any time and place in connection with information communication technology, without requiring patients to visit hospitals. However, e-Healthcare has been exposed to eavesdropping, manipulation, and the forgery of information that is personal, biological, medical, etc., and is a security threat from malicious attackers. This study suggests a security service model to exchange personal health records (PHRs) for e-Healthcare environments. To be specific, this study suggests a scheme in which communicators are able to securely authorize and establish security channels by constituting the infrastructure each organization relies on. In addition, the possibility of establishing a security service model is indicated by suggesting an e-Healthcare system for a secure e-Healthcare environment as a secure personal health record system. This is anticipated to provide securer communication in e-Healthcare environments in the future through the scheme suggested in this study.
