This project report offers a policy-based control system for the Mobile Base Unit (MBU). The Mobile Base Unit (MBU) performs as a gateway between a body area network and the network employed by health providers. A body area network includes wired sensors and actuators on a human body. The existing specification of the Mobile Base Unit (MBU) doesn’t allow the adaptation of alterations externally, e.g. user preference modifications or environment changes. Earlier studies have highlighted the design of a policy-based control mechanism that permits the adaptability of an Mobile Base Unit (MBU). A policy is a rule that determines to take action if specific external changes are met. As an implementation of the policy-based control mechanism, a service oriented architecture could be employed. In these kinds of architecture, functionalities are put into atomic services. These services communicate with one another. The OSGi framework is a type of service oriented architecture. A benefit of this architecture is the facilities it offers for services. We apply a policy-based control mechanism to control the Mobile Base Unit (MBU).
