QoS Considerations in Wireless Sensor Networks for Telemedicine

Overview The integration of telemedicine with medical micro sensor technology (Mobile Sensor Networks for Telemedicine applications - MSNT) provides a promising approach to improve the quality of people's lives. This type of network can truly implement the goal of providing health-care services anytime and anywhere. The research in this field generates the following outcomes that are reported in this paper: the paper proposes a mobile sensor network infrastructure to support the third-generation telemedicine applications; an energy-efficient query resolution mechanism in large-scale mobile sensor networks is used for critical medical data collections; to provide the guaranteed mobile QoS for arriving multimedia calls, a new multi-class call admission control mechanism is proposed which is based on dynamically forming a reservation pool for handoff requests.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: RFID - what can it do for the business?

After all, the idea is to deliver a business solution that includes relevant sensor and identity technology, rather than build solutions around a technology-de-jour such as RFID. Instead of treating RFID as a primary technology in its own right...

IBM working on spinning magnetic memory

To scale beyond 65-nanometre, we have to find a new mechanism to write information. Why does IBM care about memory chips when it makes its money mostly from services and servers? In STT-RAM, an electric current is applied to a magnet to change the...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
