Abstract

The reliability in medical data organization and transmission is eased with the inheritance of information and communication technologies in recent years. The growth of digital communication and sharing medium imposes the necessity for optimizing the accessibility and transmission of sensitive medical data to the end-users. In this article, the Preemptive Information Transmission Model (PITM) is introduced for improving the promptness in medical data delivery. This transmission model is designed to acquire the least communication in an epidemic region for seamless information availability. The proposed model makes use of a noncyclic connection procedure and preemptive forwarding inside and outside the epidemic region. The first is responsible for replication-less connection maximization ensuring better availability of the edge nodes. The connection replications are reduced using the pruning tree classifiers based on the communication time and delivery balancing factor. The later process is responsible for the reliable forwarding of the acquired data using a conditional selection of the infrastructure units. Both the processes of PITM are accountable for improving the delivery of observed medical data, over better transmissions, communication time, and achieving fewer delays.

Keywords: conditional reliability; epidemic broadcast; medical data transmission; pruning tree; replication-less connection.
