In the perspective of healthcare, mHealthcare or mobile health care is very important since it has the ability and the feasibility to take care of people’s health easier than before. mHealth is a combination of the application on a smartphone that monitors the patient’s health and the communication technology that transmits the data of the application to the predefined destination which is the hospital or the doctors. To investigate resource allocation among users in the context of mHealth, different kind of scheduling algorithms have been used to study and analyze the behavior of results taking into consideration diverse scenarios, types of applications and load of the network. Simulation results and a deep analysis were done throughout the article, and they demonstrated interesting conclusions about the combination of all parameters that were studied in this article.
