“…As mentioned earlier, dedicated standards are being developed by the IEEE 1918.1 working group. Reference [3] gives an overview of this standardization effort. The first goal is to produce a baseline standard that includes the terminology, application scenarios, requirements, and even the basic architecture(s).…”

“…It should be also noted that the proposed architectural solution is still not yet available in the public domain. However, its essence is discussed in a peer reviewed paper entitled "The IEEE 1918.1 'Tactile Internet' Standards Working Group and its Standards" published in February 2019 [3]. Our review of this standard solution is therefore based on this third-party source.…”

“…In fact, as will be discussed later on, there are several research efforts that aim to realize the Tactile Internet over other technologies (e.g., WLAN and WBAN technologies, sub-GHz technology, and combinations of these technologies). The HITL-centric nature of the Tactile Internet also opens up a plethora of possibilities to leverage on artificial intelligence to decouple the human perception from the impact of excessive propagation delays, as typically encountered in wide area networks [9] [49], which is not a focus of 5G [3]. Furthermore, according to the Technology Watch Report on the Tactile Internet, published by the ITU-T in 2014, both wired and wireless access networks are essential to meet the stringent latency as well as carriergrade reliability requirements of Tactile Internet applications [1].…”

“…1) IEEE P1918.1 Architecture: The proposed IEEE P1918.1 architecture [3] is generic and can be mapped to all types of connectivity (i.e., local area, wide area, wired, wireless and hybrid wired/wireless) in addition to being application agnostic. It relies on a few well thought design principles (e.g., modularity, flexibility, separation of control and data planes, leveraging on cloud and edge resources).…”

The Internet has made several giant leaps over the years, from a fixed to a mobile Internet, then to the Internet of Things, and now to a Tactile Internet. The Tactile Internet goes far beyond data, audio and video delivery over fixed and mobile networks, and even beyond allowing communication and collaboration among things. It is expected to enable haptic communications and allow skill set delivery over networks. Some examples of potential applications are telesurgery, vehicle fleets, augmented reality and industrial process automation. Several papers already cover many of the Tactile Internet-related concepts and technologies, such as haptic codecs, applications, and supporting technologies. However, none of them offers a comprehensive survey of the Tactile Internet, including its architectures and algorithms. Furthermore, none of them provides a systematic and critical review of the existing solutions. To address these lacunae, we provide a comprehensive survey of the architectures and algorithms proposed to date for the Tactile Internet. In addition, we critically review them using a well-defined set of requirements and discuss some of the lessons learned as well as the most promising research directions.

“…Conversely, VR changes the real world into a virtual one requiring specific special hardware such as Oculus Rift gear (expensive and not-portable), which is slowing down its adoption rate by end-users. Moreover, TI [206] will combine many technologies such as mobile edge computing, AR/VR, automation, robotics, telepresence etc.. Also, it will permit the control of the Internet of Things (IoT) in real time while moving and within a particular communication range. Further, a new dimension will be added to human-to-machine interaction by enabling tactile and haptic ( sense of touch, in essence, the manipulation and perception of objects utilizing touch and proprioception) sensations, and at the same time transform the interaction of machines.…”

Quality of Experience for Streaming Services: Measurements, Challenges and Insights

Over the last few years, the evolution of network and user handsets' technologies, have challenged the telecom industry and the Internet ecosystem. Especially, the unprecedented progress of multimedia streaming services like YouTube, Vimeo and DailyMotion resulted in an impressive demand growth and a significant need of Quality of Service (QoS) (e.g., high data rate, low latency/jitter, etc.). Mainly, numerous difficulties are to be considered while delivering a specific service, such as a strict QoS, human-centric features, massive number of devices, heterogeneous devices and networks, and uncontrollable environments. Thenceforth, the concept of Quality of Experience (QoE) is gaining visibility, and tremendous research efforts have been spent on improving and/or delivering reliable and addedvalue services, at a high user experience. In this paper, we present the importance of QoE in wireless and mobile networks (4G, 5G, and beyond), by providing standard definitions and the most important measurement methods developed. Moreover, we exhibit notable enhancements and controlling approaches proposed by researchers to meet the user expectation in terms of service experience.

Although the original premise of 5G networks was to enable the Internet of Everything (IoE) services and applications, the current deployments of such networks prove otherwise. Shortcomings of 5G have recently attracted a great deal of attention from both the research community and the industry to define next‐generation 6G systems, as an enabler of a variety of disruptive applications ranging from extended reality (XR) to haptics. In this article, we review the 6G vision, paying particular attention to its underlying human‐centric premise. We then elaborate on the recently emerging concepts of Tactile Internet and Internet of No Things, which are envisioned to be enabled over FiWi‐enhanced low‐latency LTE‐Advanced (LTE‐A) heterogeneous networks (HetNets) using a TDM/WDM 1/10 Gb/s Ethernet passive optical network (PON) backhaul and a Wi‐Fi offloading front end with artificial intelligence (AI)‐enhanced multiaccess edge computing (MEC) servers placed at the optical‐wireless interfaces.
