 as depicted in Figure 1.1, in which the interaction between the core and the heterogeneous net- work is shown. The 5G core network will be connected to the data center on one side and to the heterogeneous network on the other side. The connection with the hetero- geneous network will be through wired backhaul supporting higher data rates and thus, providing greater flexibility. Figure 1.2 shows a suggested application of robotic surgery in a generic 5G communication based network. The key aspects expected of the network for such applications are latency of 25 ms or lower, failure rate of approximately 10-7, and raw bit rate per view of 30-40Mbps. The core network, as shown in Figure 1.2, for the case of robotic surgery, communicates with the help of 5G base stations (BSs), the communications parameters being the position or vel- ocity, along with the force and vibration calibration values for the robotic probe. The audio and video transmissions along with haptic feedback also need to be monitored 5G Wireless Communication System in Healthcare Informatics Audio/Video Remote Surgery Haptic Robotic setup feedback Network Positon/Velocity Probe Audio/Video Key Aspects: < 25ms latency 10-7 failure rate 30-50 mbps (raw bit rate per view) FIGURE 1.2 A generic 5G communication network based architecture depicting remote surgery healthcare application with key aspects.
