Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study has investigated constraint and criterion for optimum design of communication system to control dependable machine-to-machine (M2M). First, a new design criterion to guarantee worst performance enough high has been employed instead of conventional average performance in order to define dependability. Second, motion and sensor characteristics of targeting machines have been mathematically described. Then various multiple layers technologies based on UWB wireless, cognitive protocol, fault tolerant routing, cipher etc. have been proposed and jointly optimized, and medical BAN has been implemented applying these technologies and evaluated them in clinical experiment with collaborating institutes.
