Abstract

Communications for emergency services have traditionally been provided by dedicated radio technologies, like the TETRA system. However the need for more efficient mobile communications is gaining popularity in these scenarios due to extreme requirements by means of availability, price and spectrum usage. This trend will be further accentuated in the coming years with the appearance of 5G systems that promise better figures in almost all the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). LTE can provide many of the functionalities required by emergency services and is currently being evolved towards the 5G era by incorporating heterogeneous networking, over the top applications, network function virtualisation and more. The Q4Health project focuses on the preparatives for market introduction of eHealth video applications for first responders based on LTE technology. This preparation includes the investigation of advanced LTE programmability features and the design and execution of several novel experiments in order to optimise the communications for this platform.

q4健康:LTE RAN堆栈中紧急服务的服务质量和优先级

应急服务的通信传统上是由专用无线电技术提供的，如TETRA系统。然而，由于对可用性、价格和频谱使用的极端要求，对更高效移动通信的需求在这些场景中越来越受欢迎。随着5G系统的出现，这一趋势将在未来几年进一步加剧，5G系统有望在几乎所有关键绩效指标(kpi)中获得更好的数据。LTE可以提供应急服务所需的许多功能，目前正通过整合异构网络、顶级应用、网络功能虚拟化等，向5G时代发展。Q4Health项目的重点是为基于LTE技术的急救人员推出电子健康视频应用的市场准备工作。这项准备工作包括研究先进的LTE可编程特性，设计和执行几个新的实验，以优化该平台的通信。
