Pervasive healthcare is a promising assisted-living solution for chronic patients. However, current cutting-edge communication technologies are not able to strictly meet the requirements of these applications, especially in the case of life-threatening events. To bridge this gap, this article proposes a new architecture to support indoor healthcare monitoring, with a focus on epileptic patients. Several novel elements are introduced. The first element is the cascading of a WLAN and a cellular network, where IEEE 802.11ax is used for the wireless local area network to collect physiological and environmental data in-home and 5G-enabled Fixed Wireless Access links transfer them to a remote hospital. The second element is the extension of the network slicing concept to the WLAN, and the introduction of two new slice types to support both regular monitoring and emergency handling. Moreover, the inclusion of local computing capabilities at the WLAN router, together with a mobile edge computing resource, represents a further architectural enhancement. Local computation is required to trigger not only health-related alarms but also the network slicing change in case of emergency; in fact, proper radio resource scheduling is necessary for the cascaded networks to handle healthcare traffic together with other promiscuous everyday communication services. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach while highlighting the performance gain achieved with respect to baseline solutions.

用于普及家庭医疗保健的级联 WLAN-FWA 网络和计算架构

无处不在的医疗保健对于慢性病患者来说是一种很有前途的辅助生活解决方案。然而,当前的尖端通信技术并不能严格满足这些应用的要求,尤其是在发生危及生命的事件时。为了弥合这一差距,本文提出了一种支持室内医疗监测的新架构,重点是癫痫患者。介绍了几个新颖的元素。第一个要素是 WLAN 和蜂窝网络的级联,其中无线局域网使用 IEEE 802.11ax 收集家庭生理和环境数据,支持 5G 的固定无线接入链路将它们传输到远程医院。第二个要素是将网络切片概念扩展到 WLAN,并引入了两种新的切片类型,以支持常规监控和紧急处理。此外,在 WLAN 路由器上包含本地计算功能以及移动边缘计算资源,代表了进一步的架构增强。不仅需要本地计算来触发与健康相关的警报,还需要在紧急情况下触发网络切片变化;事实上,级联网络需要适当的无线电资源调度来处理医疗保健业务以及其他混杂的日常通信服务。数值结果证明了所提出方法的有效性,同时突出了相对于基线解决方案所实现的性能增益。与移动边缘计算资源一起,代表了进一步的架构增强。不仅需要本地计算来触发与健康相关的警报,还需要在紧急情况下触发网络切片变化;事实上,级联网络需要适当的无线电资源调度来处理医疗保健业务以及其他混杂的日常通信服务。数值结果证明了所提出方法的有效性,同时突出了相对于基线解决方案所实现的性能增益。与移动边缘计算资源一起,代表了进一步的架构增强。不仅需要本地计算来触发与健康相关的警报,还需要在紧急情况下触发网络切片变化;事实上,级联网络需要适当的无线电资源调度来处理医疗保健业务以及其他混杂的日常通信服务。数值结果证明了所提出方法的有效性,同时突出了相对于基线解决方案所实现的性能增益。级联网络需要适当的无线电资源调度来处理医疗保健业务以及其他混杂的日常通信服务。数值结果证明了所提出方法的有效性,同时突出了相对于基线解决方案所实现的性能增益。级联网络需要适当的无线电资源调度来处理医疗保健业务以及其他混杂的日常通信服务。数值结果证明了所提出方法的有效性,同时突出了相对于基线解决方案所实现的性能增益。
