We
made use of fifth-generation
(5G) cellular networks in the current 3GPP Release 15 for transmitting DICOM data and reached more than 50
Mbit/s upload speed using
consumer-grade hard- and software. This holds great potential for cellular transmission of data from portable MRI
scanners.
Figure 1: Experimental setup. The laptop is connected via ethernet cable to the 5G router and displays its web-interface.
Table 1: Results
of experiments. Transmission times are given as mean ± standard deviation. The reference measurement was perfomed via ethernet connection between the DICOM client and server, therefore quality quantities of cellular networks are not available.
