  • in a user equipment (UE), wirelessly transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a priority flag for delivery to an LTE base station, wherein the priority flag indicates that the UE is subscribed to a medical data monitoring service;

    in the LTE base station, verifying that the UE is authorized for enhanced quality of service for the medical data monitoring service;

    in the UE, sensing medical data associated with a user of the UE, and transferring the medical data for delivery to the LTE base station;

    in the LTE base station;

    receiving the medical data transmitted from the UE;

    determining if the medical data exceeds a predetermined threshold value; and

    when the medical data exceeds the predetermined threshold value, implementing the enhanced quality of service for the UE by increasing a power of a communication channel provided to the UE using beamforming.
