Abstract In healthcare organizations such as hospitals, it is important to have an efficient healthcare monitoring system in which the patients’ vital signs are collected from multiple sensors and transformed into the decisions makers to be analyzed and take the appropriate actions. The IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) was developed to act as an appropriate routing protocol in new 6G and Internet of Everything (6G/IoE)-based networks with the underlying Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In the RPL, a set of nodes, which are connected and have a common objective, are grouped to represent an instance. This paper investigates the use of multiple RPL instances in healthcare monitoring systems to enhance the performance of such systems. The authors evaluate the performance of their proposed approach using Cooja simulator in terms of two key routing performance metrics: average Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and average latency. The results of the simulation showed that, by using the proposed approach, the performance of healthcare monitoring systems is enhanced in all cases, in terms of latency, from tens of seconds to less than one second.

1 Introduction With the rapid development of technologies, smart devices, and sensors, the new 6G and Internet of Everything (6G/IoE) is becoming the target of researchers to find and resolve related issues [1]. In 6G/IoE, the devices connected to the Internet are not only computers or smartphones, as a large number of daily life’s devices can be connected to the Internet. As a result, these devices generate a huge amount of data that will be processed to achieve specific goals [2]. Since the future 6G

networks and wireless applications are probably a decade away from implementation, in this paper the authors aim to simulate current data rates with a huge potential to be applicable in large scale networks with higher data rates in such future networks. Wireless sensors which are embedded in the 6G/IoE devices and compatible with the IEEE 802.15.4–2003 standard (IEEE 802.15.4) are characterized by short-range, low bit rate, low power, and low cost. These sensors are connected via wireless communication. Such type of devices composes Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (LoWPANs). The characteristics of LoWPANs which are allowing wireless connectivity with limited
