5G Latency Possibilities
5G industry experience
Network architectures need to evolve To achieve ultra-low latency, we need a flexible system that brings content closer to the user and can be managed dynamically in real time. Since ms latency needs to be guaranteed when needed, ultra low latency goes hand in hand with ultra high reliability. Three important advances will combine to make new possibilities a reality…
1. Radio access
2. Edge computing
3. End-to-end control
While LTE radio-access networks (RANs) can support today’s broadband and IoT traffic, advanced technologies are needed to deliver ultra-low latency and connectivity at scale.
Achieving latency levels of under 10ms can’t be done by relying on processing in the core cloud. Content and processing need to move out of the core cloud and closer to the edge of the network.
To optimize 5G networks for latency, they must be software defined and programmable from end to end, enabling dynamic adaptability to guarantee milliseconds latency.
Optimized radio interfaces to reduce transmission times for all types of traffic and increase scalability.
Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) will reduce the physical and logical length of connections, enabling traffic to select the shortest possible path.
Programmable networks will provide real-time, end-to-end control over all network elements.
