Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING PICONETS IN BODY AREA NETWORKS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/123317
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A portable device capable of controlling a piconet selects a logical channel when forming the piconet. The device includes a controller configured to start a first piconet. The controller couples to at least one secondary device in the first piconet. The portable device also includes a transmitter configured to communicate with the at least one secondary device via a wireless communication channel. The controller is configured to select communication channel resources based at least in part on resources allocated to a second piconet in order to mitigate interference between the piconets. The controller is configured to form the first piconet to operate in either a non-interference mode when the controller is able to establish communications with a second controller in the second piconet or a coexistence interference mitigation mode when the controller is unable to establish communications with the second controller in the second piconet.
