  2. Real time Location system [RTLS] • Unlike traditional sensors like UV and infrared sensors, ZigBee sensors are in use. • RTLS supports features such as exit alerts , patient tracking , patient safety and asset tracking which are important in hospitals. • It has been introduced by a San Diego based company by the name Awarepoint.

  3. What is different about it? • RTLS systems uses Zig Bee which offers the following features such as – • Extra Encryption Services (application and network keys implement extra 128b AES encryption). • Association and authentication (only valid nodes can join the network). • Routing protocol: AODV, a reactive ad hoc network has been implemented to perform the data routing and forwarding process to any node in the network.

  4. Zigbee network • Three types of nodes exist in a ZigBee Network Coordinator: - the "master" device, it governs the network. Routers: -routes the information which sent by the end devices. End device (the motes - the sensor nodes) :- the ones which take the information from the environment. ZigBee creates star topology.

  5. 802.15 Vs Zigbee • 802.15.4 is primarily used to achieve point to point and energy efficient communications. • ZigBee defines extra services (start topology routing, encryption, application services) over 802.15.4. • ZigBee creates semi-centralized networks where just the end devices can sleep.

  6. Advantages • Unlike infrared sensors it offers persistent room level location tracking. • Avoids interference with medical equipment. • Maintains separation from Wi-Fi network.
