The protocol creates a segmented logical network based on multicast addressing associated to hospital beds. The objective of MP-HA is to ensure the determinism on network through medium access control mechanism increasing the transmission throuput. Thus, it creates a periodical environment making use of the cycles concept, in parallel, which is called multicycles.Automação HospitalarRede HospitalarMulticastarticle
