Abstract: This paper covers the technical aspects of the wireless-based sleep technology for monitoring sleep apnea, which is a sleep disorder that can be detected via continuous monitoring. In this paper, a wireless system testbed is designed to monitor the patients for the signs of sleep apnea. The testbed is comprised of a number of biomedical sensors, which are used to monitor the related biological parameters related to the patient's sleeping mechanism, such as: nasal airflow, snoring, abdominal, leg, chest, and eye movements, blood oxygen level, blood pressure, and body position. The goal of this paper is to characterize the and model the data traffic generated from the biomedical sensors used in the sleep apnea study and find the network-centric lower traffic limits; minimum frequency deployment and minimum bandwidth required.
