Power- And Delay-Aware Mobile Application-Data Flow Adaptation: The Mobihealth System Case Study
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences(2008)
摘要
Emerging healthcare applications rely on personal mobile devices to monitor patient vital signs and to send it to the hospitals-backend servers for further analysis. However, these devices have limited resources that must be used optimally in order to meet the requirements of healthcare applications end-users: healthcare professionals and their patients. This paper reports on a case study of a cardiac telemonitoring application delivered by the so-called MobiHealth system. This system relies on a commercial device with multiple (wireless) network interfaces (NI). Our study focuses on how the choice of a NI affects the end-to-end application's data delay (extremely important in case of patient's emergency) and the energy consumption of the device (relating to the service sustainability while a patient is mobile). Our results show the trade-off between the delay and battery savings achieved by various NI activation strategies in combination with application-data flow adaptation. For a given mobile device, our study shows a gain of 40-90% in battery savings, traded against the higher delays (therefore applicable mainly in non-emergency cases). The insights of our studies can be used for application-data flow adaptation aiming at battery saving and prolonging device's operation for mobile patients.
