Abstract
Medical Body Area Network (MBAN) technology is a promising solution to improve patient care outcomes and lower healthcare costs. To foster MBAN innovations, the FCC recently allocated dedicated spectrum for MBAN services. In this paper, we present a brief summary of the FCC MBAN rules. Then, we discuss the technical rationale for the selection of key parameters, such as frequency band selection, emission bandwidth limit, and transmission power limit. Finally, we provide link budget analysis and MBAN coexistence simulations to demonstrate that the FCC rules can meet the requirements of MBAN applications.
