Effective wireless transmission for Body Sensor Networks of plant operators

摘要

This paper deals with the rapid growth in biomedical sensors, and power consumption of ZigBee module in different modes of operation. The wireless communications has enabled a new generation of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN): the body area networks. These networks are composed of tiny, cheap, and low-power biomedical nodes, mainly dedicated for healthcare monitoring applications. The objective of these applications is to ensure a continuous monitoring of vital parameters of plant operators in bio-power plants, while giving them the freedom of motion and thereby better quality of healthcare. The monitored signals are then transmitted to the control module through ZigBee.
