![]() ![]() The obtained simulation results have been validated with the measurements, and they show how Bluetooth-based WSNs behave within hospital environments in terms of coverage, Signal to Noise Ratio and capacity. As hospitals have a wide variety of scenarios, the analysis has been carried out in different zones such as the Emergency room of the HCN, where the interferences are expected to have a low impact since it is a kind of waiting room, and operating rooms area, where the patient security is a major issue and it can be a harsh environment in terms of interference and coexistence with other wireless equipment. The analyzed scenarios are located at the Hospital Complex of Navarre (HCN), in the city of Pamplona. Such devices when organized into a network. In this paper we describe T-MAC, a contention-based Medium Access Control protocol for wireless sensor networks. For that purpose, measurements within real scenarios as well as simulation results obtained by the aim of an in-house developed 3D Ray Launching method are presented. ABSTRACT Dragging the world towards wireless galaxy Various sensors are already in a broad use today as part of different devices or as standalone devices connected to a network usually to monitor industrial processes, equipments or installations. Due to the complexity that this kind of scenarios exhibit in terms of radio propagation and coexistence with other wireless communication systems and radiant elements such as magnetic resonances and other electric appliances, the deployment of WSNs becomes a complex task which requires an in-depth radio planning analysis. In this work, the performance of Bluetooth-based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) deployed within hospital environments is analyzed. ![]()
