Abstract

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) is an emerging area in field of remote health monitoring and telemedicine. UWB is a preferred candidate for the WBAN as it provides very high data rate at minimal cost and power consumption. Since the UWB-WBAN is wireless, it will be affected by interference from existing wireless personal and local area networks. Interference immunity is a major issue in wireless Body Area Networks as patients' vital data containing details of functioning of vital organs and blood flow are carried. The paper investigates the performance of modified and modulated hermite pulses (MHP) for narrowband interference mitigation in the 4,940–4,990 MHz band IEEE 802.11y Public Safety band interference. This 50 MHz interfering band will be a critical interferer due to the higher power levels of interfering system. Performance of the proposed technique have been shown in comparison with Gaussian pulse shapes and has been further validated by transmitting ECG and MRI data by it in presence of strong interference.
