Over the last few years, communication latency has been a major hurdle for most of the applications deployed in different network domains. During this era, a number of communication protocols and standards were developed and used by the community. However, still, the problem of latency persists keeping in view of the quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) for different applications. To mitigate the aforementioned issues, in this paper, we present an in-depth survey of state-of-the art proposals having tactile internet as a backbone for delay mitigation using 5G networks for future ultra-reliable low-latency applications such as Healthcare 4.0, Industry 4.0, virtual reality and augmented reality, and smart education. From the existing proposals, it has been observed that tactile internet can provide interactions between virtual objects to give a feel of real environment with maximum latency of 1 millisecond. Also, this paper highlights the key differences between the tactile internet and Internet of Things in context with 5G revolution. Then open issues and challenges of tactile internet for smart applications are analyzed. Finally, a comparison of existing proposals with respect to various parameters is presented, which allows the end users to select one of the proposals in comparison with its merits over the others. KEYWORDSHealthcare 4.0, Industry 4.0, IoT, latency, reliability, tactile internet, 5G INTRODUCTIONMobile communication allows users to exchange data using smart devices ubiquitously using the mobile internet (MI). MI has millions of connected smart devices irrespective of their locations. It has revolutionized the different segments of industries such as health care, logistics, education, gaming, and transportation for maintaining quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) for different applications. Moreover, it provides a device-to-device (D2D) communication, ie, ubiquitous communication for data sharing and communication between devices. This D2D communication coined the new term, the Internet of Things (IoT), 1 which provides the low power devices or equipments to perform specific tasks in the environment where they are deployed. IoT is being used in various smart city applications such as smart lightening, smart parking, waste management, traffic congestion, and forest fire detection. In D2D communication, the mobile devices can share prime or critical information in which a delay of even millisecond can harm the persons life (for example, the information sharing during robotic telesurgery). Existing cellular systems infrastructure is not suitable for such sensitive data sharing because of low data rates and long delay (greater than 20 ms). However, for D2D communications, Int J Commun Syst. 2019;32:e3981.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/dac

“…Scholars point out the importance of approaching the smart homes design taking into account the needs and preferences of final users, developing knowledge about human factors through dedicated research and modelling [12,13]. The evolution of control interface modalities and the criticalities connected with their usability is also the subject of research [1]. Other works highlight the role played by system stakeholders aside from users, such as installers and technicians assigned to maintenance, in order to effectively exploit the potentials of technical solutions with respect to sustainability [14,15].…”

There are currently several systems for home automation and energy management available on the market. These systems are intended to reduce the use of energy, while ensuring optimal and customizable comfort conditions. The advances in technology (Internet of Things, sensors, cloud computing, data processing and thermal modelling) and in the design of interfaces should facilitate the adoption of convenient behaviours by final users, thereby producing more sustainable use of energy at home. Conversely, the effectiveness and efficiency of smart home systems for thermo-regulation is a complex activity, requiring the collaboration of multiple stakeholders and experts. In this paper, the authors report a case study about the design of a system for thermal regulation at home developed in a multidisciplinary research team for research and industrial purposes. The paper reports results including: a discussion on a number of issues involved in the design of smart home solutions for sustainability and on the importance of developing an integrated approach to their design; the needs analysis of users and of their functional requirements based on investigation with residents and profiling; final remarks about the role of User Experience Design methods and tools in the development of smart home solutions, understood as socio-technical systems.
