Project Title:Agile network configuration for ultra-low-latency Tactile Internet
Description
This project aims to provide agile communication and networking solutions for Tactile Internet services in the Network Domain connecting humans and robots. Therefore, an end-to-end multidomain orchestration with optimal 5G/B5G network configuration is vital to establish Tactile Internet services offering the required Quality of Service (QoS), Quality of Experience (QoE), and Quality of Task (QoT). In addition, as Tactile Internet services require communication of multi-modal sensor data (visual/auditory/haptic), which have different requirements regarding sampling rate, transmission rate, latency, reliability, and others, it requires the network to support at least uRLLC traffic (e.g., haptic data) and eMBB traffic (e.g., 3D video stream). From a radio resource management and information theory perspective, multiplexing of large video packets (low update rate) with small haptic packets (high update rate) requires careful consideration of their characteristics. Hence, the significant communication and networking challenges are how to support highly demanding and diverse information flows and to meet their processing and control needs, while keeping the network operating at optimal points in the latency, resilience, and throughput trade-off hyperspace.
In short, this project has two main goals: (1) To achieve ultra-low latency and reliability through seamless relocation of computation and network functions and dynamic path reconfiguration, and (2) To develop end-to-end network slicing solutions based on SDN and integrating NFV for Tactile Internet
