Metaheuristics Applied to the Latency Reduction on Tactile Internet
Metaheuristics, Latency, Tactile Internet
Tactile Internet is an emerging technology that, unlike today's Internet applications, will provide human-machine interaction real-time touch and actuation. This implies that the round-trip latency of the signal must be similar to the one of the human tactile sense, on the order of 1ms. The development of the Tactile Internet is challenged when users are geographically dispersed, mainly due to the latency in sending and receiving data. Several techniques can be used to ensure adequate latency, ranging from the geographical spread of processing centers to the use of prediction, interpolation and cache techniques on the transmitted data. For these data processing techniques, there is a great deal of interest in using Artificial Intelligence techniques, whose executions must be within the tactile edge of the system. In this sense, the present work has as objective to develop strategies to reduce latency in applications of Internet Tactile by using techniques of Artificial Intelligence, particularly approaching the use of metaheuristics, that stand out among others AI techniques due to their well-known good performances in real-time applications.
