Communication Requirements in 5G-Enabled Healthcare Applications: Review and Considerations

Abstract

Fifth generation (5G) mobile communication technology can enable novel healthcare applications and augment existing ones. However, 5G-enabled healthcare applications demand diverse technical requirements for radio communication. Knowledge of these requirements is important for developers, network providers, and regulatory authorities in the healthcare sector to facilitate safe and effective healthcare. In this paper, we review, identify, describe, and compare the requirements for communication key performance indicators in relevant healthcare use cases, including remote robotic-assisted surgery, connected ambulance, wearable and implantable devices, and service robotics for assisted living, with a focus on quantitative requirements. We also compare 5G-healthcare requirements with the current state of 5G capabilities. Finally, we identify gaps in the existing literature and highlight considerations for this space.

Segítség a távolból – A videoasszisztált újraélesztés jelene és jövője

“…Nem zárhatjuk ki azt sem, hogy további minőségi fejlődés érhető el az 5G hálózati lefedettség elterjedésével, ugyanakkor az is megemlítendő, hogy ennek eléréséhez számos kérdés még megválaszolásra vár (például adatvédelem/adatbiztonság, széles körű elérés stb.) [30,31]. A fejlődés ellenére Ecker és mtsai felmérésében bár a V-CPR és a T-CPR is hatékonyabbnak bizonyult az instrukciók nélküli ellátáshoz képest, a két diszpécserasszisztált módszer között nem volt kimutatható különbség, kivéve a kézpozícióban, amely a V-CPR esetén jobb volt [16].…”

JAYA algorithm based selective mapping for PAPR reduction in GFDM systems

“…In recent year, a wide range of applications, including machine-to-machine (M2M) communication 1 , the internet of things (IoT) 2 , smart cities (SC) 3 , cognitive radio (CR) 4 and massive communication 5 , have recently drawn attention to the 5G wireless communication systems. In this regard, improved quality of service, high data rate, lower latency, and more effective use of the available bandwidth are among the requirements to be supported by the 5G wireless multi-carrier system 6,7,8 . Due to the structure of 5G, transmission of the data involves the utilization of multiple carriers, where many multi-carrier modulation strategies have been proposed to support its specifications 9,10 .…”
