Abstract

The goal of this project is the implementation of a simulation that gets the vital information of a soccer player’s body through Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). With this objective in mind, several programming language environments are compared with each other. This simulation only has one sample to follow according to the proposal. Therefore, the challenge is to create a new simulation sample and other platforms to compare the accuracy and delay between communications. WBANs are not conceived to carry large amounts of data, according to the WSN (wireless sensor network) concept. This entails a problem when designing applications for this kind of networks. Lastly, in respects to the results that will be presented. The results will be about which one simulation is better or what differences lay between the different environments of development.
