It is expected that almost every day electronicdevices will be connected to the existing internet infrastructure in thecontext of Internet of Things (IoT). These devices will enable to sense andactuate the physical world. It is foreseen that miniaturized e-health deviceswill enable monitoring vital health of patients. There exist some studies onnetworking these e-health devices within the Internet. In this realm, severalnetwork protocols are being standardized. 6LoWPAN of IETF is one of theseefforts where some set of protocols can be stacked over IEEE 802.15.4 radio. However,it is not clear that which ideal protocol stack for transmission of health datacan be adopted well. The novelty of this work is that we studied determinationof ideal protocol stack for transmitting health data over 6LoWPAN IoT networks.So then, we carried extensive simulations over Cooja simulator. The compellingresults are presented in this work. The results show that 6LoWPAN IoT healthnetworks can be used to serve vital health data of patients.
