Abstract

The tactile internet works on opportunities, critical services, and skill-set transfer instead of data. The global scenario is how realistically a machine/device is going to communicate with the other machine/device. Machine/device connectivity in IoT architecture relies on scalability, signal simplification, low cost and long-term sensors for energy efficiency, and improved battery lifetime. While 5G designs are guided by increased user networking demands in the field of industrial automation, precision agriculture, and augmented reality, researchers are forced to consider the unison of new technologies instead of incremental additions to the LTE specifications.

Tactile Internet

Haptic communication refers to the ways in which people and animals interact via the sense of touch . A new codex is required to transmit muscle movement . Huge information (big volumes of data, haptic feedbacks) is travelled through the single packet (Aijaz A, Dohler M, Aghvami AH, Friderikos V, Frodigh M,2017). In earlier cellular networks both uplink and downlink are communicating to the same base station as it is a homogenous kind of network. But in 5g heterogeneous network, it is desirable that uplink is talking to the world i.e to femto or picocells and downlink is communicating to microcells in base station (Gupta A, Jha RK, 2016). Machine-to-machine communications (M2M) is a well-recognized trend for tactile internet .To achieve the system response time required by M2M, the demands on human-to-machine interaction also hold.

Key Terms in this Chapter

Computer Simulation: An attempt to model a real-life or hypothetical situation on a computer so that it can be studied to see how the system works.

Power: Power gives the density of base station or its range.

Energy: Energy is that which drains your battery.

Antenna: A transducer designed to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves.

Spectral Efficiency: The information rate that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth in a specific time period.

Cognitive Radios: A cognitive radio (CR) is a radio that can be programmed and configured dynamically to use the best wireless channels in its vicinity to avoid user interference and congestion.

Heterogeneous Networks: A network connecting computers and other devices with different operating systems and protocols.

Haptic Communication: The ways in which people and animals interact via the sense of touch.
