Abstract

Wireless technologies are well known to provide tremendous benefits to the healthcare sector. In the evaluation of the wireless technologies, ZigBee is found specifically suitable for monitoring due to its low cost, long battery life and widely accepted standard. But ZigBee uses the same ISM free band with other wireless techniques, such as Wi-Fi, which is also widely deployed in health care. The coexistence of these techniques in the crowded ISM band will cause mutual interference, which in medical environment has death indication. This paper aims at providing a comprehensive evaluation of the interference between Wi-Fi and ZigBee technologies. Constructing on earlier work led by researchers in Schneider Electric [2], real-time tests were performed in research laboratory and residential environment and results were analyzed to provide a reference for the deployment of multiple wireless technologies to avoid mutual interference.

电子医疗环境下Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g)干扰对zigbee网络影响的丢包率评估

众所周知，无线技术为医疗保健部门提供了巨大的好处。在对无线技术的评估中，ZigBee因其成本低、电池寿命长和被广泛接受的标准而被认为特别适合于监控。但ZigBee与其他无线技术(如Wi-Fi)使用相同的ISM免费频段，Wi-Fi也广泛应用于医疗保健领域。这些技术在拥挤的ISM波段共存会产生相互干扰，在医疗环境中具有死亡指征。本文旨在对Wi-Fi和ZigBee技术之间的干扰进行全面评估。在施耐德电气研究人员早期工作的基础上[2]，在研究实验室和住宅环境中进行了实时测试，并对结果进行了分析，为多种无线技术的部署提供参考，以避免相互干扰。
