  • 1. Implementing IEEE 802.15.4-based Communications in Sensor Nodes aimed for Biomedical Signal Monitoring Gustavo Meneses Benavides Colombia

2. Abstract We present the most significant issues found during the implementation of IEEE 802.15.4-based communications in a set of wireless sensor nodes developed for biomedical signal monitoring. The technical specifications of the Personal Area Network Coordinator and these of a body temperature sensor node are described. .. in order to provide a monitoring instrument to conduct experiments which could provide useful information for individuals and researchers. 3. Communications for Wireless Sensor Networks for Biomedical Signal Monitoring 4. MiWi: Microchips IEEE 802.15.4-Based Protocol MiWi protocol is a lightweight choice which allows us incorporating midrange microcontrollers in this application and take advantage of a simplified version of IEEE 802.15.4, better suited to our smallsized, low cost network implementation. IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceivers and a set of microcontroller references compatible with the MiWi protocol available at reasonable costs from a variety of suppliers in our country . 5.

SOME RESULTS Firmware: C18 & C30 based (8bit-16 bitMCUs) (for Sensor Nodes and PAN Coordinator) Circuit Designs (Schematics and PCB) Systems Gateway Design User Interfaces (Labview , ------>Android OS) Tests EnViBo Platform Proposal 18. Platform User Interface 19. CONCLUSIONS Significant adjustments over the base code files provided by Microchip to build a wireless monitoring network that can operate under the IEEE 802.15.4-based Microchips MiWi protocol. Network roles tested with prototypes for the PAN coordinator and sensor nodes capturing vital signs like body temperature. A comprehensive work to add functions and coding to implement the features specific to network elements according to their role and function level within the monitoring system proposed. Tests conducted on different prototype boards have allowed to improve the designs and put into operation a reduced-size/lowpower optimized version of sensor node, which meets our requirements User interfaces are available in some test nodes through LCD modules, and in a computer as a virtual instrument interface. Data logging options are available (microcontrollers data EEPROM, SD card, in the computer by using data in time & date 20. REFERENCES H. Alemdar, C.
