Wireless connectivity delay, disruption, or failure can significantly affect the performance of wireless-enabled medical devices, which in turn causes potential risks to the patient. Notably, the challenges related to connectivity provisioning are exacerbated in the fifth-generation (5G)-enabled healthcare use cases where mobility is utilized. In this article, we describe relevant 5G-enabled healthcare use cases involving mobility and identify the connectivity challenges that they face. We then illustrate practical implementation considerations, tradeoffs, and future research directions for enabling reliable 5G healthcare transmissions. This is done through simulation of connected ambulances as an example use-case.
无线连接延迟、中断或故障会严重影响支持无线的医疗设备的性能，进而给患者带来潜在风险。值得注意的是，在利用移动性的第五代（5G）医疗用例中，与连接配置相关的挑战会更加突出。在本文中，我们描述了涉及移动性的相关5G医疗用例，并确定了它们面临的连接挑战。然后，我们阐述了实现可靠的5G医疗传输的实际实施考虑因素、权衡以及未来研究方向。这是通过以联网救护车为例进行模拟来完成的。
