LEARNING OUTCOMES
Investigate technologies and trajectories relevant to 3G, 4G, and 5G networks (C4,
CLO2
PLO4)

CLO3 Justify solutions recommended relevant to 3G, 4G, and 5G networks (A3, PLO9)

The case study:

Section A
Healthcare use cases cover a broad range of scenarios, from personal wearables for health
monitoring, through diagnosis and treatment in a medical setting, to high speed mobility
communication between an ambulance and hospital. Personal wearables mainly fall into
the IoT category of small data with infrequent transmission. However, as technology
improves, new devices are being created that can take a more proactive role in healthcare
such as providing connectivity to a medical team for remote diagnosis and treatment.

Whether the diagnosis and treatment devices are remote or used in a clinical setting, they
will rely on the Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLCC) and time
synchronization capabilities of the current or latest wireless communication technologies
to support accurate and timely information sharing and control of treatment devices. The
tasks to be supported by these devices may range from sharing video for diagnostic
purposes, to controlling an insulin pump or performing robotic surgery. Communications
between an ambulance and hospital add the need for support of rapid mobility for similar
diagnosis and treatment tasks.

Given the wide range of healthcare applications and devices, the mobility needs are
diverse and far reached. Scenarios wherein devices may need to be connected for full
mobility at speeds ranging from pedestrian for a wristband monitor to high speeds for
devices in an ambulance or medevac helicopter. In view of such circumstances it can be
realized that one essential supporting element is the communication infrastructure which
will determine the success or failure in achieving the abovementioned goals.
Consequently, the communication infrastructure itself have gone through changes and
evolution with the current focus on the latest wireless communication technologies.
Therefore, your assignment team is required to first compare the various evolution
introduced by 3GPP for the 4th generation (4G) standards and beyond. In your
comparison, focus on the general technical development and improvements, followed by
the impact and benefits such technologies bring to the consumers. Then the team needs to
recommend one (1) of the wireless communication technology with justifications in
relation to the given healthcare application in a Country/City of your choosing.

Subsequently, each member of the team needs to conduct a feasibility study focusing on
technical, economical, and procedural/non-technical factors for the following criteria:

- key performance indicators (KPIs), regulatory, licensing, health and

environmental;
- architecture, hardware and software/firmware;
- threats and security;

Apply and relate the feasibility study to the chosen wireless communication technology
for healthcare applications in particular hospital ambulances that are in moving
conditions, and provide the recommended solution(s). Justify your solution(s) using
information from the literature review. The report must include an overview/general
diagram to represent the suggested implementation for the proposed scenario. Additional
diagrams and figures are encouraged to substantiate and complement the facts included.
