Abstract
This paper reviews a set of standardized communication technologies, IEEE 802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). These technologies form a well suited communication stack for applications in this field, enabling body near communication and communication for housing. A sensor/actor network using these standards was implemented on a hardware platform based on the TI CC2430 chip at the wireless lab at the HTW-Berlin (University of Applied Sciences). It is currently coupled with sensors and signal processing for monitoring vital parameters. Results of these developments will support the research in AAL as well as teaching in a new master degree course as an interdisciplinary project between two Berlin Universities (Alice Salomon Hochschule and HTW Berlin) in order to create the next generation products for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL).
