2 Presentation Layout MobiHealth Communication Infrastructure
Communication Requirements How to proceed? Info: MobiHealth testbed Netherlands 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

3 MobiHealth Communication Infrastructure
“Communication infrastructure for bi-directional multimedia data communication between a MobiHealth BAN and arbitrary host on the Internet.” Communication infrastructure issues: Speed Coverage Availability Scalability Mobility Security 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

4 MobiHealth External Communication Environment
IEEE 802.3/11/15 IEEE 802.11/15 2.5G, 3G Three communication domains: Healthcare (e.g. Hospital) Public access (mobile operator network) Home (premises, in-house + garden) IEEE – Ethernet (wired) IEEE – WLAN: FHSS, DSSS (x.a,x.b) IEEE – WPAN: Bluetooth (x.1) IP ► Focus 2.5G, 3G 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

5 Communication Requirements
“Communication requirements are derived from the MobiHealth system requirements.” MobiHealth system - application, BANOS, BAN GPRS or UMTS as ‘bearer service’ (mandatory) IP = network protocol (Internet standard) Performance (e.g. ‘goodput’ = speed, delaymax) Coverage (GPRS and/or UMTS) Reliability (e.g. packet loss, availability) Traffic management (e.g. prioritization of data) Mobility of a BAN (network node) Security (e.g. authentication, authorization, encryption) 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

6 Communication Requirements (cont.)
Performance Depends on BAN application = MobiHealth trials example: MST trauma team Bandwidthu: peak(ti=30) 236 kbps, sustained kbps Bandwidthd: kbps Max speed E2E connection = speed slowest segment GPRS ~ kbps (CS2 coding) UMTS ~ kbps High delay between transmission and receipt of a packet GPRS ~ 1500ms avg. (ICMP) roundtrip delay UMTS ~ ??? 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

7 Communication Requirements (cont.)
Coverage (GPRS and/or UMTS) Depends on BAN application = MobiHealth trials example: City of Barcelona (ES), Lulea (S) region, Enschede (NL) city centre, Duisburg (D) region 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

8 Communication Requirements (cont.)
Reliability Transport of patient vital sign data, remote control of BANs. What to aim for? % uptime? 100% error free communication? Where to implement? Application Layer protocols: http, … Transport Layer CO service (TCP): E2E reliable delivery, flow control CL service (UDP): unreliable delivery, no flow control Lower Layers (Network, Link, Physical)? How to evaluate reliability of MobiHealth infrastructure? 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

9 Communication Requirements (cont.)
Traffic management Transport of patient vital sign data, remote control of BANs. Guaranteed bidirectional communication in congested networks MNO, Internet, Enterprise network, … Mobile Network Operators: No voice over data priority scheme! How to deal with traffic management in the MobiHealth infrastructure? 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

10 Communication Requirements (cont.)
Security Transport of personal (medical) data, remote control of a BAN, … Is end-to-end (BAN-to-Internet host) security needed? What level? Depends on user requirements (WP1)! Security can be added to most communication layers! Different security features depending on layer: Link layer: Bluetooth, GPRS/UMTS, ... Network layer: IPsec, ... Transport layer: SSL/TLS, HTTPS, ... Application layer: Data encryption (OpenSSL Libraries, MIME) 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

11 Communication Requirements (cont.)
Mobility of a BAN Cross border connectivity? Speed limitation? (e.g. MST trauma trial km/hr) Application disruption? How to handle “handovers”? 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

12 Communication Requirements (cont.)
Mobility of a BAN Internet MNO Horizontal Handover BAN Intranet 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

13 Communication Requirements (cont.)
Mobility of a BAN BAN Internet MNO Vertical Handover Intranet MNO 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST

14 How to proceed? WP1 user requirements needed:
Performance, coverage, reliability, security WP2 system requirements needed Derived from WP1 WP3 communication infrastructure requirements Derived from WP1 and WP2 WP3 preliminary testing ‘testdrive’ with plain IP E2E communication develop measurement strategy: performance, reliability (incl. mobility), coverage, security 11/23/2018 MobiHealth IST
