FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication engineering and can be used in a body area network. To this end, a medical system comprises: a medical body area network (MBAN) system comprising a plurality of network nodes intercommunicating via short range wireless communication, the MBAN system including a spectrum control sub-module which selects an operating channel or frequency for the short range wireless communication, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag placed together with the MBAN system. The spectrum control sub-module selects an operating channel or frequency from a spectrum comprising a combination of a default spectrum and a restricted spectrum authorised for the use by the MBAN system under the condition that the MBAN system is situated within a medical facility as indicated by readings of the RFID tag. The spectrum control sub-module selects an operating channel or frequency from a spectrum comprising only the default spectrum under the condition that the MBAN system is not situated within the medical facility as indicated by readings of the RFID tag.
EFFECT: high throughput of the body area network.
