Patent number: 10159020Abstract: When handing off a multi-mode patient monitoring device (PMD) (28) between radio access technology (RAT) networks, a serving access point (AP) (12, 16, 72) with which a communication link is established by the PMD (28) over a first RAT network (RAT-1) to permit the PMD to communicate with a hospital IP network (18) via the serving AP (12, 16, 72). A scanning interface (14, 54, 74, 104) collects information regarding other available RAT networks (e.g., RAT-2 , RAT-3, etc) and candidate APs therein. If the RAT-1 communication quality of service falls below a predetermined threshold level, the serving AP (12, 16, 72) delivers information regarding the candidate APs (22, 24, 26) and their RAT networks to the PMD (28). Delivery of the candidate network/AP information is performed using a beacon signal continuously or periodically emitted from the serving AP (12, 16, 72), or upon request by the PMD (28). The PMD (28) selects a candidate AP (22, 24, 26) as a target AP, and initiates a handover to the target AP.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventor: Ruediger Schmitt

Patent number: 9554706Abstract: A patient monitor includes a plurality of monitoring devices which collect data about a patient. An evaluation unit determines the patient's condition from the collected data and generates an alarm if the patient's condition warrants notifying an appropriate medical responder. A communication unit which transmits the alarm to a access point over a hospital Internet protocol (IP) network, the communication device includes a first transmitter for transmitting the alarm using a primary link and a second transmitter for transmitting the alarm using a secondary link in response to the transmission using the primary link failing.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2011Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Amjad A.

Patent number: 9338583Abstract: When monitoring a patient in a healthcare environment, a location of a battery-powered mobile aggregator (MA) sensor (22), which is mounted on a patient with one or more other patient-mounted sensors (12, S1, S2, S3), is monitored. The MA (22) maintains a personal area network (PAN) (24) for the sensors (12, S1, S2, S3) and wirelessly transmits signals from patient mounted sensors (12, S1, S2, S3) to a wired network (18). When the MA (22) comes within range of a mains-powered fixed aggregator (FA) (16), the MA (22) is informed of the availability of the FA (16), transfers patient data communication duties to the FA (16), and shuts down its PAN to conserve battery power. If the patient moves out of range of the FA (16), then the MA (22) regenerates the PAN (24) and resumes wireless patient data transmission.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventor: Ruediger Schmitt

Patent number: 8345656Abstract: In a wireless communication channel, the time per a service interval is distributed among multiple data services. The data services have been allocated airtime quotas in order to comply with their QoS requirements. These airtime quotas are scaled by a factor that is the ratio between, on the one hand, the time available per service interval for accommodating data of these services and, on the other hand, the total of the airtime quotas. This allows the services to use more airtime in case not the entire service interval has been allocated.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2008Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.N.Inventors: Ruediger Schmitt, Richard Chen

Patent number: 8121067Abstract: To maximize power saving performance without compromising on the QoS requirement of an application stream, a method and wireless network device generates a subset of a periodic service interval can be used for medium time allocation and data and information can be transmitted in contiguous medium time allocated this way. This selection of a period of time below service capacity allows multiple applications access the medium and for the selection of contiguous medium time during which data transmission can occur.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2006Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Richard Y.

Patent number: 7848307Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for managing transmission airtime in a wireless network communication system transmitting at least one data flow in a plurality of data packets (210) in service intervals (215). The method comprises the steps of determining an accumulated time of data packet transmissions in the service interval (215) for each of the data flows, determining an estimated time of the next data packet transmission in the service interval (215) for each of the data flows, and allowing the transmission of the next data packet (330) when the combined accumulated time and the estimated time for a flow to which the data packet belongs is less than a predetermined value (320).Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2006Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Richard Y.
