Compared to traditional wireless networks, a cognitive radio network (CRN) can be built with much more flexibility. In this article we study the performance of supporting telemedicine traffic in a CRN. We first introduce an infrastructurebased CRN for telemedicine, where cognitive base stations sense available spectrum and forward data for associated healthcare stations. We then present strategies and performance for supporting urgent and real-time periodic telemonitoring traffic in the network. Our results show that satisfactory real-time performance can be achieved for telemedicine traffic.
