Project: Realizing Immersive 5G Low-Latency Applications in FiWi Enhanced Mobile Networks

The Internet has been constantly evolving from the mobile Internet to the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) and future Tactile Internet. Similarly, the capabilities of future 5G networks will extend far beyond those of previous generations of mobile communication. This research project exploits the concept of fiber-wireless (FiWi) enhanced 4G LTE-A HetNets with artificial intelligence (AI) embedded multi-access edge computing (MEC), which was shown to meet the ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) requirements of immersive 5G low-latency applications. The project addresses key open challenges by scaling up research in the area of optical fiber backhaul and wireless fronthaul networks and exploring the potential of decentralized blockchain technologies for a future low-latency Tactile Internet with built-in trust in human-machine co-activities across the Internet.
