Shabid Mumtaz of Instituto de Telecomunicaçoes

A new generation of services and applications is emerging that require lower latency, better reliability, large connections, and increased energy efficiency. These market opportunities and requirements are uniquely addressed by 5G's advanced features. Among the applications supported by Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) are industrial internet, smart grids, remote surgery, and intelligent transportation systems. Aside from URLLC, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) also allows control and prioritization of Ethernet data streams. In order to achieve real-time capabilities, a variety of individual requirements, such as bandwidth guarantees, time synchronization, and low latency, are taken into account. The purpose of this talk was to shed light on different aspects of URLLC and TSN through the use of V2X as an example.
