Today, I would like to continue on the topic of CCU and Gateway design of WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) technology.
Figure 1. CCU-1: A single-use central control unit (CCU).
In conjunction to these chips, we utilize a Chipcon CC1010 transceiver (which includes a CC1000 and a microprocessor) on the intermediary CCU (CCU-2) board to construct a wireless transmission and networking system using the WMTS band.
Figure 2. CCU-2: Intermediate Central Control Unit (CCU). This equipment is portable and shared by multiple patients. It has two directional wireless links and a dual wireless transceiver.
The CC1010 and CC1000 transceiver chips can send data at speeds of 300 and 1000 MHs, respectively (It was tuned to WMTS band in our prototype system).
The AMI52100 IC (Integrated Circuit) and CC1000 series of wireless chips were chosen for the application for the following reasons:
Total cost reductions
Reduced power intake
Size
Compatibility with MICS, WMTS, and 433 MHZ ISM bands.
The AMIS IC supports 19 kbps data rates, whereas the CC1010 supports 76 kbps.
To accept and interact with various wireless platforms as well as link to the internet for remote monitoring, the CCU-2 device in a WBAN can also be made up of standards such as Zigbee and 802.11 Wi-Fi.
