This framework prominently also includes a reference model and architecture, which defines common architectural entities, interfaces between those entities, and the mapping of functions to those entities. The Tactile Internet encompasses mission critical applications (e.g., manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and mobility), as well as non-critical applications (e.g., edutainment and events). Purpose: This standard facilitates the rapid realization of the Tactile Internet as a 5G and beyond application, across a range of different user groups. Additionally, it provides the groundwork upon which the Tactile Internet will be formed. To this end, this standard creates a baseline for a pioneering range of further standards that will be created under this working group realizing the key necessary technical capabilities of the Tactile Internet. Need for the Project: The Tactile Internet presents acutely challenging requirements, in terms of latency, reliability, security, and likely others such as the density of users, devices and links. The Tactile Internet is also highly multi-disciplinary, requiring consideration of aspects outside of the scope of communications technology. While there is broad standardization of 5G technology ongoing under the efforts of the 3GPP, IEEE, ETSI and others, which aim to set the structures in place to realize a range of challenging applications, there are not standards addressing the multi-disciplinary nature of the Tactile Internet or considering the precise challenging mix of requirements that the Tactile Internet entails. This standard, and the following additional standards that will be formed at a later stage under this working group, addresses such aspects. How to Participate?
