A handheld mobile device for wireless mesh networks in healthcare

Abstract

This paper presents the latest development of a mobile device to be used in wireless mesh networks for healthcare. The mobile device is capable of video streaming, Internet access, and voice over wireless networks. In addition, the optimisation techniques are applied to improve the network efficiency by multicast and stream the required videos based on the condition of network by scalable video streaming. The performance of the network formed by the mobile devices has been evaluated. This approach is expected to provide more versatile services for healthcare._____________________________ 978-1-4244-3930-0/09/$25.00 ©2009 IEEE

Scalable Video Streaming in Wireless Mesh Networks for Education

“…Comparing to our previous work with the same configuration and environment, which does not have the video quality control scheme, the new designed system has improved the performance. In previous work (Xu, Wang, Iqbal, & Liu, 2009), in a three-hop real-time multicast video streaming wireless mesh network, the average packet loss is up to 6.3%. The video quality is almost damaged.…”
