Internet of Vehicles for E-Health Applications in View of EMI on Medical Sensors

الملخص EN

Wireless technologies are pervasive to support ubiquitous healthcare applications.

However, RF transmission in wireless technologies can lead to electromagnetic interference (EMI) on medical sensors under a healthcare scenario, and a high level of EMI may lead to a critical malfunction of medical sensors.

In view of EMI to medical sensors, we propose a joint power and rate control algorithm under game theoretic framework to schedule data transmission at each of wireless sensors.

The objective of such a game is to maximize the utility of each wireless user subject to the EMI constraints for medical sensors.

We show that the proposed game has a unique Nash equilibrium and our joint power and rate control algorithm would converge to the Nash equilibrium.

Numerical results illustrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve robust performance against the variations of mobile hospital environments.
