Optimizing mobile terminal equipment for video-medic services

Video-Medic services ease the availability of medical expertise even to the remotest geographical location where a stranded and isolated person requires an emergency medical attention. Facilitation of such services is being frequently recommended by both Government and Private agencies. The advent and deployment of 3G and above communication standards will play a major role in realizing the objective. The spread and accessibility of wireless and mobile networks may be utilized to make availability of the advices of medical expert, physically present at a state-of-art hospital to a remote patient. Similarly, the patient data or live footage on patients' current state may as well be sent to the doctor from a distant place. One of the most challenging aspects for applications deployed over 3G networks is to ensure assured QoS for data application in conjunction to live video transmission. However, these QoS provisioning need to be application-specific and at the same time, should not affect other services running at terminal equipment or mobile terminal (ME/TE). In this paper, agent based architecture has been proposed to ensure QoS for Video-Medic services. The proposed framework ensures that application specific optimizations for Video-Medic services do not deprive other concurrently executing applications over mobile terminal..
