Long Term Evolution (LTE) based Architecture for m-Health Application

LTE is becoming an ultimate choice for 4G services around the world due to its higher data rates and lower latency objectives. E-Health services comprise a wide range of healthcare services delivered by utilizing information and communication technology. In order to help existing and emerging e-Health services over converged next generation network (NGN) architectures, there is a need for network QoS control mechanisms that meet the often stringent requirements of such services. However, there are several challenges and issues that need to be addressed. In this paper we have proposed m-health care system based on 4G LTE network communication instead of existing 3G communication system. We have provided a comparison of QoS parameter evaluation of 4G LTE and 3G network. The experimental results shows better throughput and delay in proposed methodology as compared to existing 3G and 4G implementations of m-health systems.
