Optimization of link capacity for telemedicine applications

摘要

Interactive telemedicine services have become very popular due to their cost efficiency and low response times. On the other hand, several acquisition units connected to a network can significantly increase the network load on communication links connecting hospital facilities to the Internet. Since these links are often leased from commercial ISPs, there is much interest in minimizing the cost, i.e. the capacity of leased links, without a significant degradation of the quality of telemedicine services. The paper presents the results of the initial analysis of network traffic generated by Computed Radiography, introduces the corresponding statistical model, and presents the simulation results obtained by optimizing the network capacity from the point of view of application response time.
