  • Title: Video distribution techniques over WiMAX networks for m-Health applications.
    Author: Markarian G, Mihaylova L, Tsitserov DV, Zvikhachevskaya A.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Inf Technol Biomed; 2012 Jan; 16(1):24-30. PubMed ID: 22057065.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we propose a novel approach for video distribution over IEEE 802.16 networks for mobile Healthcare (m-Health) applications. The technique incorporates resource distribution, scheduling, and content-aware video streaming taking advantage of a flexible quality of service functionality offered by IEEE 802.16/WiMAX technology. The proposed technique is thoroughly investigated using network simulator software under various real-life m-Health scenarios, which include streaming video over medium access control layer service connections. It is shown that the technique is fully compatible with the WiMAX standard specification and allows a 9-16% increase in the overall network throughput, which is dependent upon the initial system configuration and the selection of WiMAX user parameters.
