| Abstract | In the context of healthcare monitoring, it is necessary to transmit vital information from the patient to an interface managed by the hospital staff. In this work we consider a system where the patient can move within a hospital room and the data collected by sensors are transmitted to a distant receiver placed on the ceiling. We investigate the potentiality of using infrared (IR) communication for the transmission of information in this mobile context. Considering two main IR propagation types (Line Of Sight and diffuse), we characterize the IR mobile channel by using a Gaussian model for the patient location in the room. Thanks to our model, we evaluate the outage probability of this mobile monitoring scheme. From the results, the power efficiency of IR technology to ensure the communication between sensors and the collecting point is established. Moreover, to optimize the system performance and ensure the highest power autonomy, we investigate the possibility of using channel coding. For this purpose, the mobile IR channel outage capacity versus transmission power for different monitoring data rates is calculated. The analysis shows that for a typical data rate of 500 Kbps, it is theoretically possible to optimize the transmission power considering the use of a forward error correction code while maintaining the targeted effective data rate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
