Abstract

A four levels hierarchy wireless body sensor network (WBSN) is proposed for monitoring healthcare applications. It is separated into communication and control systems. In the communication system, the carrier frequency used in the human body is 402-405 MHz as medical implant communication systems (MICS) band by FCC and the coexistent wireless communication system (2.4 / 60 GHz) was used to transmit the merged biomedical data in the higher levels of the communication system. An adaptive low power and variable resolution control systems are designed into the control system. In order to improve the performance, a communication cycle is created for synchronizing the WBSN system with pipeline control. Each sensor node consists of a micro control unit (MCU), variable sample rate generator, sensor, ADC, data encoder, 402-405 MHz RF transceiver, and antenna. This paper presents a WBSN system, which not only gains the benefits of more flexible, easy development, run-time reconfigurable and variable resolution, but also significantly reduces considerable power consumptions with adaptive low power design.

用于健康监测的无线身体传感器网络系统

提出了一种用于医疗监控的四层无线身体传感器网络(WBSN)。它分为通信系统和控制系统。在通信系统中，使用的人体载波频率为402-405 MHz，通过FCC作为医疗植入通信系统(MICS)频段，在通信系统高层采用共存无线通信系统(2.4 / 60 GHz)传输合并的生物医学数据。在控制系统中设计了自适应低功耗变分辨率控制系统。为了提高性能，创建了一个通信周期，实现了WBSN系统与管道控制的同步。每个传感器节点由微控制单元(MCU)、可变采样率发生器、传感器、ADC、数据编码器、402-405 MHz射频收发器和天线组成。本文提出了一种WBSN系统，该系统不仅具有灵活、易于开发、运行时可重构和可变分辨率等优点，而且采用自适应低功耗设计，大大降低了系统的功耗。
