A new networking paradigm has emerged with the appearance of wireless computing. Among else ad-hoc networks, mobile and ubiquitous environments can boost the performance of systems in which they get applied. Among else, medical environments are a convenient example of their applicability. With the utilisation of wireless infrastructures, medical data may be accessible to healthcare practitioners, enabling continuous access to medical data. Due to the critical nature of medical information, the design and implementation of these infrastructures demands special treatment in order to meet specific requirements; among else, special care should be taken in order to manage interoperability, security, and in order to deal with bandwidth and hardware resource constraints that characterize the wireless topology. In this paper we present an architecture that attempts to deal with these issues; moreover, in order to prove the validity of our approach we have also evaluated the performance of our platform through simulation in different operating scenarios.
随着无线计算的出现，一种新的网络范式应运而生。除其他外，自组织网络、移动和普适环境可以提升它们所应用系统的性能。其中，医疗环境就是其适用性的一个便利示例。通过利用无线基础设施，医疗从业者可以访问医疗数据，从而能够持续获取医疗数据。由于医疗信息的关键性，这些基础设施的设计和实施需要特殊处理以满足特定要求；其中，应特别注意管理互操作性、安全性，以及应对表征无线拓扑的带宽和硬件资源限制。在本文中，我们提出了一种试图解决这些问题的架构；此外，为了证明我们方法的有效性，我们还通过在不同操作场景下的仿真评估了我们平台的性能。
