New algorithms for admission control and scheduling to support multimedia feedback remote control applications

Multimedia feedback remote control applications use a control loop between devices such as robot manipulators and cameras and a human user. An application-to-application quality of service is required. Network and end-point resources must be controlled and integrated in a robust admission and scheduling process. We focus in this paper on a novel admission and scheduling process for the end-points. The algorithms were prototyped within our OMEGA architecture, which controls the end-point resources in full-feedback applications, such as telerobotics.
