Abstract
The prevalence of broadband wireless networks offering
nearly ubiquitous Internet connectivity today has opened
new possibilities for utilizing wireless and mobile
services also in eHealth applications. However, such
services often involve transmission of critical
multimedia data, thus having stringent requirements for
network Quality of Service (QoS) not supported in current
networks. In this paper, we propose means for
implementing enhanced QoS support for medical video
transmission in wireless networks. Our solution extends
existing wireless network QoS architectures with support
for differentiating multiple flows and packets of the
same service type based on their impact on the Quality of
Experience (QoE). The paper also presents an experimental
evaluation of the solution in a simulation environment.
The simulation results indicate that our solution
enhances the QoE significantly and therefore improves the
availability of critical medical video services
