Abstract
In u-Healthcare environment, large amounts of important medical information is processed through wireless communication. Therefore there is a need to increase the efficiency of the network system of sending ECG data. This paper presents a compression solution for efficient ECG data transmission(ECGLZW) in u-Healthcare environment. The results showed that the average compression ratio of ECGLZW was 4.6, which got 200% better than existing methods(Huffman and LZW compression). ECGLZW's high compression ratio can increase the efficiency of wireless channels. As a result, reliable communication and security of u-Healthcare information could be achieved by applying these remaining channels to retransmission and encryption.
