Abstract :
Several architectural choices possible in logical multiplexing, accommodating QoS dynamics, and functional divisions between senders and receivers are discussed. The authors´ application requirements favor integration rather than channelization, supporting quality of service (QoS) dynamics with a renegotiation mechanism, and pushing complexity towards receivers. The choices are tested via implementation of a telerobotics/teleoperation application. This application is particularly challenging due to its demand for multiple concurrent media streams with varied QoS requirements
