ETVO: Effectively Measuring Tactile Internet With Experimental Validation

The next frontier in communications is teleoperation - manipulation and control of remote environments with haptic feedback. Compared to conventional networked applications, teleoperation poses widely different requirements, ultra-low latency (ULL) is primary. Realizing ULL communication demands significant redesign of conventional networking...

TIM: A Novel Quality of Service Metric for Tactile Internet

Tactile Internet (TI) envisions communicating haptic sensory information and kinesthetic feedback over the network and is expected to transfer human skills remotely. For mission-critical TI applications, the network latency is commonly mandated to be between 1-10 ms, due to the sensitivity of human touch, and the packet delivery ratio to be...

ViTaLS -A Novel Link-Layer Scheduling Framework for Tactile Internet over Wi-Fi

The pioneering field of tactile Internet (TI) will enable the transfer of human skills over long distances through haptic feedback. Realizing this demands a roundtrip latency of sub-5 ms. In this work, we investigate the capability of Wi-Fi 6 and existing TI scheduling/multiplexing schemes in meeting this stringent latency constraint. Taking...

Blind Spots of Objective Measures: Exploiting Imperceivable Errors for Immersive Tactile Internet

Tactile Internet (TI) enables the transfer of human skills over the Internet, enabling teleoperation with force feed-back. Advancements are being made rapidly at several fronts to realize a functional TI soon. Generally, TI is expected to faithfully reproduce operator's actions at the other end, where a robotic arm emulates it while providing...

Toward Enabling High-Five Over WiFi: A Tactile Internet Paradigm

The next frontier for immersive applications is enabling sentience over the Internet. Tactile Internet (TI) envisages transporting skills by providing ultra-low-latency (ULL) communications for transporting touch senses. In this work, we focus our study on the first/last mile communication, where the future generation WiFi-7 is pitched as the...
