Mobile ultra-reliability and low latency in 5G

Mobile networks must meet the emerging demands of services and applications with crucial latency and reliability requirements. Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) is one of the key services in 5G communications with various applications such as remote control, autonomous driving, and tactile internet. In general, reliability is defined as the probability that data with a given latency is successfully delivered, and it is critical for safety in many up […]
