In the Multiaccess network IP traffic can be dynamically transferred from one network interface to another. A video stream on the patient can be transferred from GPRS to WLAN, to achieve higher bandwidth and picture quality. In the future different IP flows can also use separate interfaces simultaneously. For example, sufficient reliability might not be available in a WLAN network, therefore vital data transmissions could simultaneously use a GPRS or UMTS interface. Ambulanc e WLAN WLAN WLAN GPRS / UMTS Ericsson Research has implemented this functionality at the IP/network layer within a prototype Multiaccess Mobile IPv6 stack. Medical applications within a Guardian Angel Ambulance can always stay best-connected with the hospital. An interface management system is provided for controlling the operation of Multiaccess. Users can control the placement of IP traffic in different interfaces based on application requirements and information on the accesses. The presented Multiaccess network is transparent to applications and access technologies and does not require any additional network nodes. It is based on a Linux Mobile IPv6 stack developed by GO – an Ericsson co-funded research project in Helsinki University of Technology.

Ericsson Research has implemented this functionality at the IP/network layer within a prototype Multiaccess Mobile IPv6 stack. Medical applications within a Guardian Angel Ambulance can always stay best-connected with the hospital. An interface management system is provided for
controlling the operation of Multiaccess. Users can control the placement of IP traffic in different interfaces based on application requirements and
information on the accesses.
The presented Multiaccess network is transparent to applications and access technologies and does
not require any additional network nodes. It is based on a Linux Mobile IPv6 stack developed by
GO – an Ericsson co-funded research project in Helsinki University of Technology. The Home
Agent functionality is provided on a commercial Ericsson high performance dual stack Router.

When the medical, legal and technical problems of the Guardian-Angel-System are solved, it could be established as a routine back-up and emergency care system in many fields of modern medicine: intensive care units, operating rooms, emergency departments and of course mobile in ambulance cars.

Conception
Whenever a medical team cannot solve a medical emergency problem, they are able to contact the Guardian-Angel experts. Therefor they use a one-button activation of all necessary systems and transmissions and wear wireless headsets for undisturbed communication.
Medical background
Errors are a leading cause of death in patients. In emergency situations help is needed immediately when necessary. Often there is a lack of permanently available experienced medical staff. The Guardian-Angel-System closes this gap in the medical field.
