Enhancing Network Connectivity Supporting Next Generation Smart Society

摘要

We anticipate proliferated opportunities of using remote controlled robotics, such as remote drone operations, through networks. Network environments for these services include not only always-on types but also intermittent ones. Our objective is to provide networks and corresponding service enablers that ensure end-to-end based service framework for robotics service providers without requiring them knowledge of underline network characteristics. We propose a service enabler, a push-based assisting function, for intermittent network environments. We report our proposed architecture and its effectiveness for supporting end-to-end service through intermittent network environments.
