Time Division Multiple Access for Remote Lab (TDMA-RL)

Abstract

The new technologies development has enabled us to build a remote lab system for multiple disciplines. The remote lab system becomes an essential for eLearning system. Multiple solution has been provided in the literature for building remote laboratory. All existing and commercialized system do not provide the multiusers process at the same time. In fact, each student must make a reservation before using the remote lab. In this paper, we have proposed and tested a new method that enable multi student to have the benefits of the remote laboratory at the same time. Our solution is based on the Time Division Multiple Access for Remote Lab (TDMA-RL). Each student can use the laboratory equipment at a fixed slot time. Our application can manage the frame send for each learner. The remotely learner can not feel the existing of the other persons due to the equipment speed and the good management time of application. The number of users varies the equipment lab characteristics.
