Abstract :
This paper presents a TETRA based mobile telecardiology model. Design considerations in transmitting wavelet based compressed ECG data using TETRA are discussed. The performance of transmitting compressed ECG signals from a patient to a remote place (hospital or medical center) over a TETRA network is evaluated in terms of BER and PRD. Frequency selective fading channels are considered during the simulation work. Results reveal the successful transmission of a compressed ECG signal with low PRD and BER better than 10-5.
