  5. Key Wearable Medical BAN requirements John F.M. Gerrits / John R. Farserotu, CSEM

  6. Outline • Wearable MBAN Applications & Requirements 2. Regulations, Coexistence, SAR 3. QoS, Robustness 4. Medium Access Control 5. Hardware Prototype

  7. Transmitter architecture BW: 30 - 250 kbps 60 - 500 kHz > 500 MHz freq: baseband 1 - 4 MHz 6 - 9 GHz 50 mW RF Sub carrier FSK FM Data RF Modulation Spreading • An analog FM signal may have any bandwidth independent of modulation • frequency or bit rate. This is analog spread spectrum.

  8. FM-UWB Transmitter Signal • Flat power spectral density • Steep spectral roll-off • Good coexistence • SAR compliant

  9. Outline • Wearable MBAN Applications & Requirements 2. Regulations, Coexistence, SAR 3. QoS, Link Margin, Robustness 4. Medium Access Control 5. Hardware Prototype

  10. Receiver architecture BW: > 500 MHz 60 - 500 kHz 30 - 250 kbps freq: 6 - 9 GHz 1 - 4 MHz baseband Data Sub-carrier RF FSK demodulation Instantaneous despreading

  11. Receiver processing gain Only noise/interference in the subcarrier banwidth is taken into account. This bandwidth reduction after the wideband FM demodulator yields real processing gain: Processing gain increases for lower bit rates: GPdB = 30 dB @ R = 250 kbps GPdB = 39 dB @ R = 31.25 kbps • Multiple-accessinterference • Frequency-selectivemultipath • Interference Processing gain mitigates

  12. Link Margin: Required RF SNR SNRMIN = -7dB for BER 1x10-6 at 250 kbps [Eurasip 2005]

  13. Link Margin: Received signal at 3 meters. d = 3m, f = 7.5 GHz, l = 4 cm PRX(3m) = -74 dBm

  14. Link Margin: Receiver Input Noise and SNR BRF = 500 MHz NFRX = 5 dB PRX(3m) = -74 dBm PN = -174 +10log10(500x106)+5 = -82 dBm - SNRRF(3m) = 12 dB SNRMIN = -7dB 9 dB of theoretical link margin, leaving room for practical implementation loss.

  15. Robustness to frequency-selective multipath CM3 CM4 [ICUWB 2007]

  16. Robustnessto narrowband interference Interferer FM-UWB In-band narrowband interference up to 15 dB stronger than the wanted signal is tolerated.

  17. PHY Synchronization < 400 ms synchronization time Start of transmission Receiver synchronized • Synchronizationlike a narrowbandFSK system • CSMA: listen before transmit

  19. WiseMAC-HA • Star or mesh topology • No. of devices is scalable (traffic limited e.g. 6 to 256) • Robust and reliable: DAA • Ability to decide on efficient modes changes • (Low Power WiseMAC or High Throughput CSMA) Sensor (LP) Sink

  24. Final Product Size, Complexity 20 x 20 mm Product size limited by antenna and battery Low Complexity [1], Small Chip Area

  25. Possible ways of merging with other radios • At the PHY level: exploit common radio front-end blocks • TX RF VCO, output stage • RX LNA, downconversion mixer • At the MAC level: Common MAC • LDR FM-UWB and MDR (IR/DS) radio • FM-UWB 7.25-8.5 GHz, Narrowband 2.4 MHz • At the system level: e.g. common control • Low power, yet robust FM-UWB control John F.M. Gerrits / John R. Farserotu, CSEM

  26. Concludingremarks • Good co-existence • withexisting air interfaces • Robustness • interference, multipath • Spectral properities • flatness, spectral roll-off • Simple radio architecture • no frequency conversion • relaxed HW specificationsenablelow power consumption • fast synchronization FM-UWB is a true low-complexity LDR UWB radio technology designed to meet the requirements for Wearable Medical BAN and compatible with requirements of other standardization bodies, e.g., ETSI eHealth.
