Mapping Wireless Networked Robotics into Tactile Internet
Abstract
This chapter deals with the integration by first characterizing Wireless Networked Robots (WNR), describing the traffic generated by this kind of network and then translating the requisites, scenarios and uses cases into the Tactile Internet (TI). It describes a new use case in TI for WNR and the kinds of network traffic in WNRs. The chapter focuses on defining the KPIs of the main traffic type of WNRs. It uses the WNR KPIs to map the WNR elements into the TI architecture and interfaces. Given that in general the WNR traffic will lie on an IP basis, it is likely that the already established mechanisms for IP traffic shaping will be put in place, and these are summarized in the Service-Level Agreements of the Quality of Service paradigm applied to the component networks of the whole WNR.
