 Abstract

Tactile Internet (TI) is, the next frontier of connectivity development wherenot only information but interaction can be exchanged digitally. Much effort in the field of TI has been spent towards developing the necessary technologies needed to transmit interactions over the internet in a naturally perceivedway. However not much has been done on improving the evaluation of these TI technologies, that is, Mean Opinion Score score or Peak Signal to Noise Ratio measures for audio-video applications. Existing measures and measuring methods only give coarse-grained indications of performance and lackthe depth for good comparison. By using Dynamic Time Warping as starting point we propose our new measures Effective Time & Value -Offset that fundamentally changes the way to evaluate performance. We verify our measures by showing it performs significantly better compared to existing work by using data from a new testbed designed to allow testing in stringent network conditions and to be usable for many futureworks.Our contributions will push forward TI development allowing both incremental and novel developments to be tested more easily and with improved verification.
