TCPSbed: A Modular Testbed for Tactile Internet based Cyber-Physical Systems

Tactile Internet based Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS) are highly sensitive to component and communication la- tencies and packet drops. Building a high performing TCPS, thus, necessitates experimenting with different hardware, algorithms, access technologies, and communication protocols. To facilitate such experiments, we have developed TCPSbed,...

Dynamic Network Slicing for the Tactile Internet

“Tactile internet” refers to a network that can support real-time interactions between human operators and remote cyber-physical systems as if they were near to each other. For this, the network should support ultra-low latency communication, often referred to as the 1ms challenge. However, we observe that network requirements, such as latency...

Towards an Open Testbed for Tactile Cyber Physical Systems

In this paper, we consider Tactile Cyber Physical Systems (TCPS), which differ from typical CPS in that haptic sensory feedback is included. In particular, we design and implement a TCPS testbed, called TCPSbed, using well-defined components and interfaces glued together using APIs. In addition to real connections, our testbed supports the...

Challenges in Haptic Communications Over the Tactile Internet

The Tactile Internet presently constitutes a vision of an Internet over which, in addition to current communications modalities, a sense of touch can be transported. In that case, people would no longer need to be physically near the systems they operate, but could control them remotely. The main problem that needs to be solved to realize the...
