Abstract
The application scenarios of wireless sensor
networks for health care systems are very complex, which
require a new communication schemes that can dynami-
cally ful¯ll these requirements and achieve e±cient data
transmission. It brings a big challenge to routing, access
control, data transmission, storage and processing. This
paper presents a novel routing scheme named Virtual hy-
percube routing (VHR), in which the routing selection and
maintenance rules are de¯ned based on a logical hypercube
structure. It can highlight good performance in data trans-
fer rate and query e±ciency. Based on this structure, the
routing for health care can be implemented e±ciently. We
evaluate the performance of VHR using simulation under
home and public area care scenarios. The results show that
this scheme performs high data transfer rate, low latency
and low overhead for communication under both static and
dynamic scenarios.
