Abstract: Apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to provide improved, dynamic medical body area network communication among available frequency bands in a healthcare environment are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes at least one processor to determine, based on a plurality of control messages indicating availability of a second frequency spectrum and timing of receipt of the plurality of control messages, a first mode or a second mode for medical body area network (MBAN) communication, the first mode specifying MBAN communication in a first frequency spectrum and the second mode specifying MBAN communication in the first frequency spectrum and the second frequency spectrum. The example apparatus includes at least one communication interface to receive the control messages and transmit an indication of a missed control message.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to provide improved, dynamic wireless spectrum analysis in a healthcare environment are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes radios to capture wireless signal information in an environment. The example apparatus includes a processor to activate and configure one or more of the radios according to a center frequency and/or a bandwidth to capture wireless signal information associated with the center frequency and/or bandwidth. The example processor is to generate a model of wireless signal activity based on the captured wireless signal information. The example model is to facilitate testing of a device according to the wireless signal activity in the environment. The example apparatus is to be portable to be positioned in the environment to capture the wireless signal information in the environment according to the one or more radios activated and configured by the processor for the environment.
