ICT applications as e-health solutions in rural healthcare in the Eastern Cape Province of South AfricaRuxwana, NL, Herselman, ME, Conradie, DP 26 February 2010 (has links)
Abstract
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions (e.g. e-health, telemedicine, e-education)
are often viewed as vehicles to bridge the digital divide between rural and urban healthcare centres and
to resolve shortcomings in the rural health sector. This study focused on factors perceived to infl uence
the uptake and use of ICTs as e-health solutions in selected rural Eastern Cape healthcare centres,
and on structural variables relating to these facilities and processes. Attention was also given to two
psychological variables that may underlie an individual’s acceptance and use of ICTs: usefulness and ease
of use. Recommendations are made with regard to how ICTs can be used more effectively to improve
health systems at fi ve rural healthcare centres where questionnaire and interview data were collected:
St. Lucy’s Hospital, Nessie Knight Hospital, the Tsilitwa Clinic, the Madzikane Ka-Zulu Memorial Hospital
and the Nelson Mandela General Hospital.

Network and signalling aspects of satellite personal communication networksCullen, Cionaith January 1995 (has links)
The use of satellites for mobile communication applications has become a global issue. The use of handheld, vehicle mounted and transportable terminals is a key feature of Satellite Personal Communication Networks (S-PCNs). Due to the higher eirp requirements on the Earths surface and also because of their inherent delay, geostationary (GEO) satellites are not considered suitable for such applications. Instead, constellations of satellites at lower altitudes have been proposed for use in what are termed 2nd generation mobile satellite communication systems. Low intensity regions in the Earths surrounding trapped radiation bands, have resulted in two altitude bands of specific interest, resulting in two constellation types - LEO (Low Earth Orbit) constellations at around 1,000 km and MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) constellations at around 10,000 km. A satellite constellation consists of a number of satellites orbiting at the same altitude and inclination and phased in a specific way. The work reported in this thesis proposes a network control architecture for LEO or MEO based S-PCN systems. Air-interface signalling aspects are then considered for mobility management and call setup signalling. LEO and MEO constellation design aspects and properties are initially considered. Important implications on the control network are drawn based on constellation coverage and connectivity properties. Other system constraints such as terrestrial network interworking considerations as well as user, network operator and regulator requirements are also considered. Finally network and more specifically satellite control signalling is examined before a S-PCN architecture is proposed. The reference architecture results in constellation control being distributed globally with individual satellite control, at any one time, being located at a specific earth station. The use of two earth station types allows network administration to be separated from traffic channel carrying aspects. In order to reduce system setup cost and delay, the reuse of network related standards from the GSM terrestrial mobile communication system is envisaged. An equivalence is made between the S-PCN architecture and the GSMs terrestrial architecture. Network implementation aspects are considered for a 14 satellite MEO constellation. Network implications resulting from the use of LEO and MEO constellations are considered. After an examination of S-PCN traffic demand on a MEO constellation, mobility management signalling is considered. A new approach is proposed based on the use of a positioning system. The performance of this approach is examined from a system signalling viewpoint for both LEO and MEO constellations and a method to minimise the required amount of signalling is described. The air interface signalling procedure for location update, based on a modified GSM network layer protocol, is simulated from a delay point of view for both LEO and MEO constellations. User-originated, user-terminated and user-to-user call setup signalling were also simulated and their delay performance examined. The importance of random access channel delay and of user cooperation with the link were highlighted as aspects which have a significant influence on the average signalling delay. Finally, the effect of common and dedicated control channel system signalling on satellite power consumption, based on busy hour call setup and mobility management signalling estimates, was examined for a MEO constellation. From this, conclusions can be made on the signalling power efficiency of S-PCN systems.

A Novel Approach for MAC and PHY Performance Analysis in Relay Networks in Presence of Interference and Shadow FadingAlkandari, Bader A. 12 September 2019 (has links)
Relays in communication networks is a well-researched topic. Historically, relays were used in analog radio and television to extend the coverage. Using relays in wireless data networking applications is a more recent problem. In the early 2000s, relays were introduced for Micro-cellular and Wi-Fi deployments. Recently it has been considered for sensor networks and Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) applications. In this dissertation we present a novel approach to determine the optimal bounds for the Medium Access Control (MAC) throughput at the target receiver in a multi-hop multi-rate wireless data network. For a given relationship between the throughput and the distance, and a given distance between the access point and the target receiver, there is a minimum number of nodes that provides the maximum throughput to the target receiver. It is always desirable to optimize the deployment from various aspects. These aspects are application-dependent and they range from energy conservation in sensor networks to throughput and coverage maximization in data networks. We apply this novel appoach to vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) scenarios. Using multi-hop relays, we show how to determine the optimum throughput for communciation between two vehicles. The optimal number of relays is chosen to maximize the throughput for point-to-point communication between a source and a destination as well as broadcast among all vehicles in the coverage area of the source. Additionally, in the physical layer, performance issues arise from the effects of interference and fading. The physical layer performance will in turn impact medium access control performance, effectively reducing the network throughput. We evaluate the performance of dense small cells for wireless local area networks (WLAN) and femto cells for data applications under the effects of interference and fading. We assume the network is fully saturated. We use the throughput-distance relationship to take into consideration the effects of interference, fading as well as the medium access control overheads. Using this model, we show that under certain conditions, the medium access control throughput for WLANs can outperform that of femto cells.
