Thank You ! Any Questions ?

Scope of CMB Task Group Draft an amendment of 802.15.4 for MBAN This amendment defines a physical layer for IEEE Std. 802.15.4 utilizing the approved 174-216 MHz, 407-425 MHz and 608-630 MHz medical bands in China. This amendment defines modifications to the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer needed to support this new physical layer.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> CMB Background Wireless connectivity is already used for healthcare applications both within hospitals and in residential situations. This provides flexibility to clinicians and healthcare providers and mobility and convenience for the patients. Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPAN) are already widely being used for this. Applications include electrocardiography and the monitoring of pulse oximetry, blood pressure and glucose levels as well as other patient vital signs like respiration, heart rate and temperature. In China as in the US, LR-WPAN is part of the growing Internet of Things Industries; it has been applied in hospital areas for medical and related info communications. IEEE Std. 802.15.4 Chinese medical devices will make use of the existing high volume applications in the Chinese medical bands.   <author>, <company>
