Abstract :
The architecture of a multi-collaborative mobile telemedicine system operating over third-generation (3G) mobile networks is presented. The system architecture is based on advanced signaling protocols that allow multimedia multi-collaborative conferences in IPv4/IPv6 3G scenarios. It is designed to communicate the personnel of an ambulance with medical specialists in a remote hospital through a 3G mobile access, providing appropriate support for real-time transmission of medical data and videoconference, together with other non real-time services. The system has been optimized specifically to operate over 3G mobile networks using the most appropriate codecs and quality of service (QoS) mechanisms to improve the services offered
