NEXT-GENERATION INTERNET ARCHITECTURE FOR TACTILE INTERNET

Аннотация
The Tactile Internet envisions real-time control, haptic feedback, and remote interaction with ultra-low latency and high reliability, enabling mission-critical applications such as remote surgery, autonomous driving, and immersive virtual reality. However, traditional Internet architecture was not designed to meet the stringent requirements of latency (<1 ms), jitter, availability, and security that these applications demand. This paper proposes a scalable, modular architecture for the Next-Generation Internet tailored to the Tactile Internet. It incorporates edge intelligence, network slicing, deterministic networking, and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed framework achieves end-to-end latency below 1 ms in 92% of use cases under controlled conditions. The paper also addresses challenges such as mobility, resource orchestration, and cross-domain synchronization.
