Traffic analysis for a parametric tactile codec

This article is devoted to the haptic communications types and methods. Haptic and tactile codecs were the research subject. As a research method authors engaged analysis of the current research re-sults in the area, research and development of the parametric tactile codec, as well as statistical analysis of the obtained tactile traffic. Core result. In this article authors provide a classification of the haptic interactions and tactile codes approaches. The other result of the work is a simple parametric tactile co-dec. Also, authors have found out that such type of codec created quite intensive flow of the packets of moderate size (500 bytes). Practical relevance of the result consists in the creation of the tactile co-dec that may be used for simple Tactile Internet applications. Besides that, obtained information about tactile traffic characteristics may be used to update forecasts of the global telecom traffic growth.
