Abstract

The development of e-Health services in rural environments, where broadband networks are usually not accessible, requires a specific analysis of available resources to improve Quality of Service (QoS) management. This work quantifies the maximum number of simultaneous users that fulfill the specific QoS levels in common e-Health services, including both store-and-forward and real-time telemedicine applications. The analysis also proposes variations in the modelling of traffic distributions regarding the number of multiplexed users. The results obtained in this study permit an accurate users dimensioning, which is necessary to optimize the performance and to guarantee the QoS requirements in this kind of services where network resources are limited.
