“…The sensory swarm is the outermost layer, made up of sensors and actuators, while the mobile access layer, made up of gateways, smart phones, Raspberry Pi, and laptops, is the intermediate layer, and the cloud is the innermost layer. The middleware which is also the actor host is designed to be lightweight and can be developed by IBM and built on the node.js 31 programming language. Because of its small footprint, this platform can be used at the edge of an IoT network, while on the server side, a JavaScript platform with an event-driven module and nonblocking I/O is used.…”

Touch enabled sensation and actuation is expected to be one of the most promising, straightforward and important uses of the next generation communication networks. In light of the next generation (B5G/6G) system's need for low latency, the infrastructure should be reconfigurable and intelligent in order to be able to work in real time and interoperable with the existing wireless network. It has a drastic impact on the society due to its high precision, accuracy, reliability and efficiency as well as the ability to connect a user from far away or remote areas. Such a touch-enabled interaction is primarily concerned with the real time transmission of the tactile based haptic information over the internet, in addition to the usual audio, visual and data traffic, thus enabling a paradigm shift towards establishing a real time control and steering communication system. Due to the existing system's latency and overhead, it creates delays and limits the usability of the future applications. In light of the aforementioned concerns, this study proposes an intelligent touch-enabled system for B5G/6G and IoT based wireless communication network that incorporates the AR/VR technologies. The tactile internet and network slicing serve as the backbone of the touch technology which incorporates intelligence from techniques such as artificial intelligence and machine/deep learning. The survey also introduces a layered and interfacing architecture complete with its E2E solution for the intelligent touch based wireless communication system. It is anticipated for the next generation system to provide numerous opportunities for various sectors utilizing AR/VR technology in robotics and healthcare facilities, all with the intension of helping in addressing severe problems faced by the society. Conclusively the article presents a few use cases concerning the deployment of touch infrastructure in automation and robotics as well as in intelligent healthcare systems, assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of the prevailing covid-19 cases. The paper concludes with some considerable future research aspects of the proposed system with few of the ongoing projects pertaining to the development in the incorporation of the next generation (6G) system.

Network slicing is a promising technology that network operators can deploy the services by slices with heterogeneous quality of service (QoS) requirements. However, an orchestrator for network operation with efficient slice resource provisioning algorithms is essential. This work stands on Internet service provider (ISP) to design an orchestrator analyzing the critical influencing factors, namely access control, scheduling, and resource migration, to systematically evolve a sustainable network. The scalability and flexibility of resources are jointly considered. The resource management problem is formulated as a mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem. A solution approach based on Lagrangian relaxation (LR) is proposed for the orchestrator to make decisions to satisfy the high QoS applications. It can investigate the resources required for access control within a cost-efficient resource pool and consider allocating or migrating resources efficiently in each network slice. For high system utilization, the proposed mechanisms are modeled in a pay-as-you-go manner. Furthermore, the experiment results show that the proposed strategies perform the near-optimal system revenue to meet the QoS requirement by making decisions.

Building complex entities like Network Slices and their Subnets requires proper models and methods to allow their convenient design and deployment. Despite significant progress in the standardization of the basic Network Slicing concepts, for many it still remains unclear how to organize a Network Slice/ Subnet design process that would be aligned to the currently standardized, declarative style of their provisioning. How to reflect the high-level, abstract service requirements into a technical description of a Network Slice/Subnet capable of fulfilling them?In what form should such a description be provided? What details should it cover and how to conduct a design process leading to the production of a concretized description of the desired Network Slice Instance (NSI) and/or Network Slice Subnet Instance (NSSI)? Unfortunately, the current standardization scope does not cover these challenging design-time aspects, leaving the telco community without clear guidelines in this complicated area. Also, the state-of-the-art research does not tackle the corresponding challenges in a generic and holistic way. We contribute to fill in this void by complementing the up-to-date standards with original concepts and systematizations compiled into a comprehensive tutorial on the Network Slicing design-time aspects. To this end, we deliver a broad study of the evolution of Network Slice/Subnet provisioning approaches and offering modes, explaining their impact on the design phase. Next, we provide a generic taxonomy of building blocks out of which an NSI/NSSI may be designed, followed by proposing precise definitions of the design process and its expected outcomes. Then, by elaborating on those definitions, we explain, in a technology-agnostic manner, the activities comprising the design process and the results it shall produce. Based on these fundamentals, we describe the opportunities for automating the design process, essential to support the declarative provisioning style and to offer the "dynamic slicing" capabilities by the Slicing orchestrators. All of the elaborated systematizations and concepts are vendor-agnostic and fully standards-aligned which makes them practically usable in a wide range of solutions.
