Abstract
A system and a method maintain a medical body area network (MBAN). Devices of the MBAN are communicated with over one or more channels of the MBAN. The one or more channels include a primary channel, and each of the devices is assigned to one of the one or more channels. Further, a duty cycle of each of the one or more channels is continuously monitored. In response to the duty cycle of the primary channel meeting or exceeding a duty cycle limit, a device of the devices is moved to a secondary channel.
