Alocação Dinâmica de Recursos Bio-inspirada Aplicada a Redes de Cuidados Médicos

In this paper, the authors present a protocol inspired by the natural behaviour of desert ants, to allocate resources in accordance with the emergency degree of patients, in healthcare networks. Simulation results show the decrease of the average delay as the probability of opportunistic access increases, which privileges the emergency reporting of patients with higher priority to access the resources. Furthermore, the packet loss rate is decreased by the use of cooperative modulation diversity with spectrum sensing.
