Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, such a manual management approach employs considerable staff intervention, significantly reducing process efficiency in the hospital
Also, manual management is inflexible and may not be effective in dealing with mobile AMT sites (for example, temporary barriers may be defined from time to time to protect mobile AMT sites or vehicles)

Embodiment Construction

[0023] refer to figure 1 , a medical body area network (MBAN) 10 comprising a plurality of network nodes 12,14. At least one of the network nodes 12 , 14 acts as a hub device 14 . Network node 12 communicates with hub device 14 via a short-range wireless communication protocol. In relevant literature, other equivalent terms are sometimes used to call MBAN 10, for example, body area network (BAN), body sensor network (BSN), personal area network (PAN), mobile ad hoc network (MANET), etc., and the term medical Body area network (MBAN) is understood to encompass these various alternative terms.

[0024]The exemplary MBAN 10 includes four exemplary network nodes 12, 14, including a hub device 14; however, the number of network nodes may be one, two, three, four, five, six, or more, and additionally , in some embodiments the number of network nodes increases or decreases in a specific manner as sensor nodes are added to or removed from the network to add or remove medical monito...

Abstract

A medical system comprises: a medical body area network (MB AN) system (10) comprising a plurality of network nodes (12, 14) intercommunicating via short range wireless communication, the MBAN system (10) including a spectrum control sub-module (52) that selects an operating channel or frequency for the short range wireless communication; and a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag (60) disposed with the MBAN system. The spectrum control sub-module selects an operating channel or frequency from a spectrum comprising a combination of (1) a default spectrum and (2) a restricted spectrum authorized for use by the MBAN system conditional upon the MBAN system being within a medical facility as indicated by readings of the RFID tag. The spectrum control sub-module selects an operating channel or frequency from a spectrum comprising only the default spectrum conditional upon the MBAN system not being within the medical facility as indicated by readings of the RFID tag.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 323488, filed April 13, 2010. The entirety of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 323488, filed April 13, 2010, is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The following relates to the field of medical monitoring, the field of wireless communications, and related fields. Background technique [0003] Medical Body Area Networks (MBANs) replace the tangle of cables that tether hospital patients to their bedside monitoring units with wireless connectivity. Doing so provides low-cost wireless patient monitoring (PM) without the inconvenience and safety hazards of wired connections that can trip medical personnel and potentially disconnect, resulting in loss of medical data. In the MBAN scheme, multiple low-cost sensors are attached to different locations on or around the patient, and these sensors take readings of the patient's physiological information, such as the patient's tempera...
