FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of: establishing a first communication channel between a MPMD and a first wireless network; evaluating the quality of the first communication channel; in response to determining that the quality of the first communication channel is below a predetermined threshold level, establishing a second communication channel with a second wireless network; evaluating the quality of the second communication channel after it is established; in response to determining whether the quality of the second communication channel is below the predetermined threshold level, maintaining the first communication channel if the quality of the second communication channel is below the predetermined threshold level; and in response to the quality of the second communication channel being not below the predetermined threshold level, terminating the first communication channel; wherein the MPMD requests quality information reports from a patient information processing server (PIPS) for determining whether to terminate the first communication channel.
EFFECT: enabling cellular communication channel quality evaluation.
