Mapping of multiple parameters m-health scenarios to mobile WiMAX QoS variables / Nadiah Roslan

M-health care system is a developing new technology. It can be defined as the delivery of health care and sharing of medical knowledge over a distance using telecommunication means [1]. By using this application, patients do not need to stay in the hospital but they can still perform their daily basis routine by using the health monitoring concept. The patients' data will be transmitted using wireless to doctor's PC. In this proposal, Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) will be used to transmit the patients' data and record of health. The performance analysis of Mobile WiMAX for multiple parameter telemedical scenarios will be analyzed. To be specific, the medical QoS and IEEE 802.16e QoS will be mapped to obtain optimum performance analysis of mobile WiMAX over multiple parameters of telemedical applications. The simulation was done by using OPNET 14.5 in order to analyze the multi parameter scenarios of m-health equipment's. Results from the simulation show that the delay and throughput were increased when the MS in the health environment is increasing. The simulations indicated successful results because it satisfies the m-QoS bounds. Applications that were deployed with UGS QoS are treated with higher priority than rtPS and nrtPS, which were more suitable for lower priority services.
