Abstract

Powered by next generation mobile networking capabilities, the Tactile Internet will be able to transport touch and actuation in real-Time. Enabled by suitable robotics and haptics equipment at the edges, and an unprecedented communications network, the Tactile Internet will provide a true paradigm in creating skill-set delivery networks. The fifth generation (5G) mobile communications systems will underpin this emerging Internet at the wireless edge. This paper presents the most important technology concepts which lay at the intersection of the larger Tactile Internet and the emerging 5G systems. Specifically, the paper presents some of the most important Tactile Internet applications, outlines the key technical requirements, and covers end-To-end architectural aspects of the Tactile Internet.
