Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [i.3]. The
modular structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.4].
The present document describes the technical characteristics and test and performance requirements for Medical Body
Area Network Systems (MBANSs) operating in the 2 483,5 MHz to 2 500 MHz frequency range.
Medical Body Area Networks are short-range low-power wireless networks, consisting of a plurality of body-worn
sensor devices and/or actuator devices and a hub device placed on/around the human body. The on-body sensor devices
are responsible for measuring key patient-specific information, such as the temperature, pulse, blood glucose level,
electrocardiogram, blood pressure level and respiratory function readings. The hub device acts as a central controller to
maintain the connections with all devices associated with its MBANS and is responsible for device
association/de-association and channel selection. The hub device also typically receives the data collected from the
various sensor devices on the body and may, depending on applications, process the data locally and/or further forward
it to a remote central station (e.g. remote nursing station) via an appropriate wired/wireless link for centralized
processing, display and storage.
Usually, MBANS devices are highly resource-constrained in terms of battery capacity, MCU capability and memory
size. Therefore, simple and low-power MBANS solutions are preferred from the application point of view. Currently,
most of mature low-power low-cost short-range radio solutions have spectrum efficiency around or less than 1 bps/Hz
and it is expected that MBANS solutions will have similar spectrum efficiency. Also to prolong battery life, MBANS
devices are expected to transmit with a limited duty cycle. The MBANS devices' duty cycle is not more than 10 % for
in-hospital applications and not more than 2 % for in-home applications.
In addition to the technical specifications, the present document provides measurement methods for MBANS equipment
which should support operation in healthcare facility mode or home mode, or both modes. These measurement methods
are to be implemented throughout the process of manufacturing and putting onto the market. And, if the MBANS
equipment is required to be checked for the purpose of market surveillance, it should be tested also in accordance with
the methods of measurement specified in the present document.
The present document is structured as follows:
• Clauses 1 through 3 provide a general description of the types of equipment covered by the present document
and the definitions of terms and symbols and abbreviations used.
• Clause 4 provides details of presentation of equipment for testing.
• Clauses 5 and 6 specify the test and general conditions for testing of the equipment.
• Clause 7 defines measurement uncertainties of the test system and gives the maximum measurement
uncertainty values which should not be exceeded.
• Clause 8 specifies the measurement of transmitter parameters, related to spectrum utilization, and which are
required to be measured, including frequency error, emission bandwidth, e.i.r.p. of the emission, spurious and
out-of-band emissions, and frequency stability.
• Clause 9 specifies measurement methods and limits for receiver parameters.
• Clause 10 provides the requirements and measuring methods for monitoring systems, primarily designed to
minimize the possibility of disturbance between MBANS equipment and other users of the 2 483,5 MHz to
2 500 MHz frequency range.
• Annex A (normative) gives the specifications concerning radiated measurements.
• Annex B (informative) provides the change history.
• Annex C (informative) provides bibliography.

1 Scope
The present document covers the minimum characteristics of Medical Body Area Network System (MBANS),
including the spectrum monitoring and access requirements, considered necessary in order to make the best use of the
available spectrum within the 2 483,5 MHz to2 500 MHz frequency range and to avoid harmful interference between
MBANS and other users of this band. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a
user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.
The types of devices that can belong to MBANSs are on-body and off-body medical sensors, patient monitoring devices
and medical actuators covered by the Medical Device Directive (Directive 93/42/EEC [i.7]).
The present document applies to the following MBANS applications which are considered to operate indoor:
• MBANS operating in the healthcare facility
• MBANS operating in the patient's home
The present document contains the following basic technical characteristics of MBANS radio equipment which are also
addressed in annex 2 of CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.2]:
• Healthcare facility MBANS with 1 mW maximum e.i.r.p. and not more than 10 % duty cycle over a maximum
emission bandwidth of 3 MHz.
• Patient's home MBANS with 10 mW maximum e.i.r.p. and not more than 2 % duty cycle over a maximum
emission bandwidth of 3 MHz.

ETSI ETSI EN 303 203-1 V1.1.1 (2014-11) 7 Introduction The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [i.3]. The modular structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.4]. The present document describes the technical characteristics and test and performance requirements for Medical Body Area Network Systems (MBANSs) operating in the 2 483,5 MHz to 2 500 MHz frequency range.
Medical Body Area Networks are short-range low-power wireless networks, consisting of a plurality of body-worn sensor devices and/or actuator devices and a hub device placed on/around the human body. The on-body sensor devices are responsible for measuring key patient-specific information, such as the temperature, pulse, blood glucose level, electrocardiogram, blood pressure level and respiratory function readings. The hub device acts as a central controller to maintain the connections with all devices associated with its MBANS and is responsible for device association/de-association and channel selection. The hub device also typically receives the data collected from the various sensor devices on the body and may, depending on applications, process the data locally and/or further forward it to a remote central station (e.g. remote nursing station) via an appropriate wired/wireless link for centralized processing, display and storage.
Usually, MBANS devices are highly resource-constrained in terms of battery capacity, MCU capability and memory size. Therefore, simple and low-power MBANS solutions are preferred from the application point of view. Currently, most of mature low-power low-cost short-range radio solutions have spectrum efficiency around or less than 1 bps/Hz and it is expected that MBANS solutions will have similar spectrum efficiency. Also to prolong battery life, MBANS devices are expected to transmit with a limited duty cycle. The MBANS devices' duty cycle is not more than 10 % for in-hospital applications and not more than 2 % for in-home applications.
In addition to the technical specifications, the present document provides measurement methods for MBANS equipment which should support operation in healthcare facility mode or home mode, or both modes. These measurement methods are to be implemented throughout the process of manufacturing and putting onto the market. And, if the MBANS equipment is required to be checked for the purpose of market surveillance, it should be tested also in accordance with the methods of measurement specified in the present document. The present document is structured as follows: • Clauses 1 through 3 provide a general description of the types of equipment covered by the present document and the definitions of terms and symbols and abbreviations used. • Clause 4 provides details of presentation of equipment for testing. • Clauses 5 and 6 specify the test and general conditions for testing of the equipment. • Clause 7 defines measurement uncertainties of the test system and gives the maximum measurement uncertainty values which should not be exceeded. • Clause 8 specifies the measurement of transmitter parameters, related to spectrum utilization, and which are required to be measured, including frequency error, emission bandwidth, e.i.r.p. of the emission, spurious and out-of-band emissions, and frequency stability.
• Clause 9 specifies measurement methods and limits for receiver parameters. • Clause 10 provides the requirements and measuring methods for monitoring systems, primarily designed to minimize the possibility of disturbance between MBANS equipment and other users of the 2 483,5 MHz to 2 500 MHz frequency range. • Annex A (normative) gives the specifications concerning radiated measurements. • Annex B (informative) provides the change history. • Annex C (informative) provides bibliography.
