Abstract
This paper is devoted to the characterization of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) effects on wireless communication devices for telemedicine healthcare application. The proposed wireless system operates at the 2.4GHz ISM band with a hardware interface communicating by Wi-Fi and BLE (Bluetooth Low-Energy) to the medical devices and a USB interface to NFC/RFID (ISO/IEC-18092) and biometrics (ISO/IEC-19794) readers to securely identify medical staff. A scenario with configuration of modules attached to the patient and used by the nurse in the medical care room is considered. The channel ITU path loss model is investigated for the indoor RF link budget. The quality of the EM coverage and SNR and SINR on QoS with transmitted data BER and PER is analysed. It was examined that the QoS can be degraded according to the distance between the Wi-Fi and BLE device sensitivity and also the communication room environment.
