The impact of network capacity on quality of communication infrastructure for eHealth

Original language description

eHealth is a term that clearly characterizes highly modern, electronic healthcare. The technological concepts and systems falling into the category of eHealth are based on the use of information and communication technologies which affect health, healthcare in general, and include a number of services and systems to support therapy preventive care, diagnostic systems and healthcare management. A specific part of the set of eHealth technologies is the telemedicine services which allow patients to communicate with their physician remotely. This includes capabilities of patient monitoring using the Internet access service or mobile communication systems. Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down measures concerning open Internet access entered into effect on 25 November 2015. The purpose of this Regulation was to lay down common rules for equal and non-discriminatory treatment of traffic when providing Internet access services and to ensure the related rights of the end users. Access to open Internet (net neutrality) represents the foundation building block of eHealth services. Czech Telecommunication Office (CTU) has defined the method of monitoring of the occurrence of discrepancies as indicators of the fact that the performance of the Internet access service does not achieve the agreed-upon parameters or, as the case may be, unavailability of the service itself, in the form of a method based on the recommendation of IETF RFC 6349. Based on a general mathematical model of the access network and practical experience from the real traffic, it turns out that it is useful to add to the current method also measurement of qualitative data parameters pursuant to ITU-T Y.1564 standard where the results of such defined comprehensive method are capable of indicating insufficient capacity of the distribution network (backhaul network), or other anomalies in the access network which could cause occurrence of discrepancies or even unavailability of the Internet access service or the eHealth service. The article discusses the issue of the impact of qualitative parameters on the compliance with net neutrality rules. (C) 2018 IEEE.
