Intelligent networks

This chapter describes different forms of communication networks and concepts employed to enable Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (TaHiL). Applications constituting the Tactile Internet are characterized by requirements of extreme responsiveness, where the properties of the processed multimodal data vary in volume and different latency requirements depending on the human sensory system's perceptual nature. The challenge for the Tactile Internet is to deliver these multimodal data utilizing the same communication network for different communication architectures, while ensuring a very high level of security required to provide users with the privacy expected from a Tactile Internet.
