As the fifth generation (5G) network comes to the fore, the realization of 5G-enabled service has attracted much attention from both healthcare academics and practitioners. In particular, 5G-enabled emergency ambulance service allows to connect a patient and an ambulance crew at an accident scene or in transit with the awaiting emergency department team at the destination hospital seamlessly so as to improve the rescue rate of patients. However, the application of the 5G network in ambulance service currently lacks a reliable solution and simulation testing of performance in the existing literature. To achieve this end, the primary aim of this study is to propose a 5G-enabled smart ambulance service and then test the quality of service of the proposed solution in experimental settings. We also consider emergency scenarios to investigate the task completion and accuracy of 5G-enabled smart ambulance, and to verify the superiority of our proposed solution. Our study explores the value of a 5G-en-abled smart ambulance and provides practical insights for 5G network construction, business development, and network optimization of smart ambulance service.

支持 5G 网络的智能救护车：架构、应用和评估


随着第五代（5G）网络的兴起，5G服务的实现引起了医疗学术界和从业者的广泛关注。特别是，基于5G的紧急救护服务可以将事故现场或途中的患者和救护人员与目的地医院等待的急诊团队无缝连接，从而提高患者的救援率。然而，目前现有文献中5G网络在救护车服务中的应用缺乏可靠的解决方案和性能的模拟测试。为了实现这一目标，本研究的主要目的是提出一种支持 5G 的智能救护车服务，然后在实验环境中测试所提出解决方案的服务质量。我们还考虑紧急场景来调查 5G 智能救护车的任务完成情况和准确性，并验证我们提出的解决方案的优越性。我们的研究探讨了5G智能救护车的价值，为智能救护车服务的5G网络建设、业务发展和网络优化提供了实用的见解。
