Abstract :
The communication infrastructures and devices in hospitals are becoming increasingly wireless because of doctors and nurses are mobile in their work. On the other hand, the hospital patient´s communications or their monitoring devices generate lot of electromagnetic waves. In this context, deployment of wireless networks should not only meet some performance requirements but should also be aware and able to control interferences. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) seem to be suitable for delivering high-quality communication services and mitigating radio interferences in hospital environment. In this paper, we discuss the design of hospital networks above CRNs to overcome current constraints.
