Network selection mechanism for telecardiology application in high speed environment

The existing network selection schemes biased either to cost or Quality of Service (QoS) are not efficient enough for telecardiology application in high traveling speed environment. Selection of the candidate network that is fulfilling the telecardiology service requirements as well as user preferen...
