2. What’s Wrong With Wires Tethered to Bed Restricted to Location of Devices

3. Themes Scaling in many dimensions Heterogeneity Openness Activity Recognition Accuracy too low

4. Scaling Multi-function BSN Many people in close proximity Rich sensor environments (homes) Multiple homes, CCRC, AL Multiple facilities

8. SATIRE - Activities * With the Univ. of Illinois – paper appeared in Mobisys

9. SATIRE Activity classification –Five two-axis accelerometer network for classifying activities with a HMM

11. Robust Fall Detection Accelerometers only –Difficult to avoid false positives Sitting quickly Jumping Dropping (get) into bed …

12. Robust Fall Detection 2 TEMPO nodes 3D Accelerometers 3D Gyroscopes Real-time Low false alarms Robust to more situations

13. Algorithm – 3 Phases Is activity static –Use both accel. and gyros Is static posture, lying down –Use angle between trunk and thigh and gravity Is transition before lying unintentional –Use accel and gyros Q.

16. Performance

18. Scale - Multiple People Interference QoS Architecture

19. 2-BSN Interference 3 TelosB motes in each BSN: –1 source mote on the chest (position 1) –1 source mote on the thigh (position 2) –1 aggregator on the waist (position A) The data rate of the source motes is 50 pkt/s.

20. Factors Examined Four factors: –Distance between two BSNs –Power Level –Postures –Relative Orientation

21. Distance Measurement: the power level of the interference BSN is 10. Result: the interference very important up to 2m.

22. Orientation Two persons are standing. Bars with different colors show represent different relative orientation of the two BSNs including face to face, side to face, back to face, and back to back. Result: the interference is larger when two persons are fact to face, and it’s smaller when the two are back to back.

23. A Multi-Function BSN Heart rate & blood oxygen saturation Two-Lead EKG Limb motion & muscle activity Sweat Temp.

24. BodyQoS Goals  Priority-based  Wireless resource scheduling  Providing effective bandwidth Design Constraints  Heterogeneous resources  Heterogeneous radio platforms EKG Light Sweat Data Control QoS for Body Sensor Networks

25. 25 Architecture BodyQoS (1)Schedule wireless resources (2)Calculate effective bandwidth (3)Put radio to sleep (1)Abstract wireless resource for QoS scheduling (2)Implemented by calling real MAC’s functions (1)Decide which streams to serve and which not to serve

37. SenQ Layers Loosely coupled layers

38. Sensor Data Sampling & Processing

39. Virtual Sensors –users fuse streams to make new sensors –sensor drivers can recursively invoke SenQ

40. Scalable AR Systems More and more activities Finer level of detail –Cooking versus how well one is cooking, or is it deviating from previous pattern

43. Power Level Result: comparing the PRR at the same distance, we can see that the higher the interference power level, the more interference results.

44. Posture Result: comparing the PRR for different postures at the same distance, we can see the interference is smaller when two persons are standing.
