Abstract
A medical system comprises: a medical body area network (MB AN) system () comprising a plurality of network nodes () intercommunicating via short range wireless communication, the MBAN system () including a spectrum control sub-module () that selects an operating channel or frequency for the short range wireless communication; and a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag () disposed with the MBAN system. The spectrum control sub-module selects an operating channel or frequency from a spectrum comprising a combination of (1) a default spectrum and (2) a restricted spectrum authorized for use by the MBAN system conditional upon the MBAN system being within a medical facility as indicated by readings of the RFID tag. The spectrum control sub-module selects an operating channel or frequency from a spectrum comprising only the default spectrum conditional upon the MBAN system not being within the medical facility as indicated by readings of the RFID tag.
