“…The data to be transmitted is characterized mainly in terms of bit rate, overhead, error rates (BER [Bit Error Rate], or PER [Packet Error Rate]), delay, jitter, average and maximum packet sizes. In the following, two types of services are considered and their salient QoS features will be presented along with a number of constraints from higher layer protocols [20][21][22]: real-time applications; data-like loss-sensitive, but not or very little delaysensitive applications.

“…Moreover, the time interval between the sending of an SMS and its reception by the receiver must be between 6 and 8 seconds in average, given that actually 98% of sent SMSs are successfully delivered by a mobile user to a fixed network within a 5 sec time period, according to some telecom operators [4,5]. Since the integrity of SMS messages is 100%, it is obvious that SMSs are well fitted to telemedicine communications, especially in emergency situations [20][21][22], where there is a need to transmit an alarm.…”

Thanks to the facilities offered by telecommunications, telemedicine today allows physicians and clinicians to access, monitor and diagnose patients remotely. Telemedicine includes several applications such as remote monitoring of chronically ill patients, monitoring people in their everyday lives to provide early detection and intervention for various types of diseases, computer-assisted physical rehabilitation in ambulatory settings, and assisted living for the elderly at home, as well as remote monitoring of injured people in a postdisaster situation. These new applications require a reliable, wireless communication link between the devices implanted in the patient's skin and a clinician. In this article, this issue is discussed and a list of performance criteria for the different communication links used are addressed, especially focusing on the satellite link. Then an adaptive air interface which is designed to meet the performance constraints of bidirectional satellite communication links in an emergency situation in Ku/Ka/Q/V bands where when strong channel impairments occur is described and analysed.

Since the integrity of SMS messages is 100%, it is obvious that SMSs are well fitted to telemedicine communications, especially in emergency situations [20,21,22], where there is a need to transmit an alarm. c) Other QoS issues: Another crucial QoS optimization method consists in properly handling and managing data traffic, especially when different services are aggregated.…”
