Performance analysis of NB-IOT network for patients monitoring in rural areas (IREHI2018)

Résumé

Medical surveillance is based on continuous monitoringof the patients vital parameters. The control of vital signs isessential in different cases. Actually, in the case of criticals healthsissues (road or traffic accident; Pregnancy and pregnancy-relatedcomplication like blood pressure, foetal heart rate, etc...) vitalsparameters need to be continually measured. Imagine the casewhere the patient is living in a rural area or remote area withpoor health infrastructure. That kind of situation needs theinvolvement of news technologies (telemedicine, IoT), technics tohelp to overcome the medical service delivery issues. Base on thisbackground and due to the technologies issues and limitations insome area or region the authors had proposed a new technologyto support the medical service delivery at a remote area. Theproposed technology consisted of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT). It's a promising technology that provides long-range communications at a low data rate for sensors with reduced device processing complexity and long battery lifetime. This paper aims to investigate the realistic performance of NBIoT in terms of effective throughput and patient served per cell in the healthcare monitoring system in a rural area with both in-band and stand-alone deployment.
