Real-time supermedia transmission in internet

Abstract

A lot of new Internet based applications have been introduced in the past yeas with the quickly development of the Internet. One of the most interesting applications is Internet-based teleoperation, where the Internet is used as a bridge between the operators and machines. The operators send commands and receive visual and haptic information via the Internet. In this paper the term supermedia is introduced to capture the notion of all this information streams. The supermedia transmission in the Internet comes with several problems: delay, lost packets and disconnection. These limitations may cause many problems such as instability and desynchronization. This paper presents a system using an event-based method to avoid these problems and realize real-time supermedia transmission in the Internet.
