In the last decade the number of wireless devices operating at the frequency band of 2.4GHz has increased in several settings, such as
healthcare, occupational, and household. In this work, the emissions fromWi-Fi transceivers applicable to context aware scenarios
are analyzed in terms of potential interference and assessment on exposure guideline compliance. Near field measurement results
as well as deterministic simulation results on realistic indoor environments are presented, providing insight on the interaction
between theWi-Fi transceiver and implantable/body area network devices as well as other transceivers operating within an indoor
environment, exhibiting topological and morphological complexity. By following approaches (near field estimation/deterministic
estimation), colocated body situations as well as large indoor emissions can be determined.The results show in general compliance
with exposure levels and the impact of overall network deployment, which can be optimized in order to reduce overall interference
levels while maximizing system performance. [--]
