Bandwidth allocation in view of EMI on medical equipments in healthcare monitoring systems

摘要

To enhance the capacity of patients supported by in-hospital wireless monitoring systems, a bandwidth allocation scheme for the transmission of medical data in the WLAN is proposed. The problem of bandwidth allocation, subject to limited wireless bandwidth, quality of service (QoS) requirements of medical data transmission, and electromagnetic interference is modeled as an optimization problem. To solve this problem, we propose an algorithm based on genetic theory and analyze the computation time of this algorithm. Finally, based on this algorithm, we analyze the capacity of patients supported by the monitoring system.
