Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a wavelet-based ECG compression algorithm for emergency mobile telemedicine over cellular network. The proposed algorithm can achieve a low delay, while maintaining reconstructed signal quality by employing waveform partitioning, adaptive frame size adjustment, wavelet compression, flexible bit allocation, and header compression. The performances of the proposed algorithm in terms of reconstructed signal quality, processing delay, and error resilience were evaluated over CDMA 1x EVDO network deployed widely in Korea
