An Approach to Improve Reliability of Vital Signs Monitoring

Abstract

In many life situations, the reliable transmission of patient health data is an important and critical issue. The multi-connectivity feature of fifth generation (5G) mobile systems is a way to improve reliability, as it enables multiple simultaneous radio links from source to destination. The open access to this Radio Access Network functionality enables external application to manage the connectivity of user devices based on user location, information about radio conditions and level of cell congestion. In this paper, we propose an approach to open access to multi-connectivity using Multi-access Edge Computing.
