Quality of service level based on medical data for a wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A method of operating a long term evolution (LTE) communication system to facilitate increased quality of service in consideration of medical information, the method comprising:
- 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.

Abstract
A wireless access node to facilitate increased quality of service in consideration of medical information comprises a wireless communication transceiver and a processing system. The wireless communication transceiver is configured to receive medical data transmitted from a wireless communication device served by the wireless access node, wherein the wireless communication device senses the medical data from a user of the wireless communication device. The processing system is configured to determine a quality of service level for the wireless communication device based on the medical data, and implement the quality of service level for the wireless communication device.
