Medical background

Perspective
Errors are a leading cause of death in
patients. In emergency situations help
is needed immediately when necessary.
Often there is a lack of permanently
available experienced medical staff.
The Guardian-Angel-System closes
this gap in the medical field.
Whenever a medical team cannot solve
a medical emergency problem, they are
able to contact the Guardian-Angel
experts. Therefor they use a one-button
activation of all necessary systems and
transmissions and wear wireless
headsets for undisturbed
communication.
When the medical, legal and technical
problems of the Guardian-AngelSystem are solved, it could be
established as a routine back-up and
emergency care system in many fields
of modern medicine: intensive care
units, operating rooms, emergency
departments and of course mobile in
ambulance cars.
The Guardian Angel medical applications require an ability to seamlessly roam between different types
of access networks – whatever is the best available in a certain location.

Ericsson Research has implemented this
functionality at the IP/network layer within a
prototype Multiaccess Mobile IPv6 stack. Medical
applications within a Guardian Angel Ambulance
can always stay best-connected with the hospital.

In the Multiaccess network IP traffic can be
dynamically transferred from one network
interface to another. A video stream on the
patient can be transferred from GPRS to WLAN,
to achieve higher bandwidth and picture quality.

In the future different IP flows can also use
separate interfaces simultaneously. For example,
sufficient reliability might not be available in a
WLAN network, therefore vital data
transmissions could simultaneously use a GPRS
or UMTS interface.

Access router
An interface management system is provided for
controlling the operation of Multiaccess. Users
can control the placement of IP traffic in different
interfaces based on application requirements and
information on the accesses.
The presented Multiaccess network is transparent
to applications and access technologies and does
not require any additional network nodes. It is
based on a Linux Mobile IPv6 stack developed by
GO – an Ericsson co-funded research project in
Helsinki University of Technology. The Home
Agent functionality is provided on a commercial
Ericsson high performance dual stack Router.
