5G-TSN FlexTac: Experience A New Touch

The Tactile Internet (TI) is a revolutionary communication platform that enables perceived real-time interaction between humans and machines, such as in remote surgery. However, realizing TI is a complex challenge in wireless networks like the 5G and beyond 5G mobile communication systems. 5G-TSN is an approach adopting the determinism of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) into 5G systems. This demo presents 5G-TSN FlexTac, a 5G and TSN combination, to achieve ultra-low latency for real-time tactile experiences. The demo showcases its effectiveness in providing immersive haptic interactions, opening avenues for virtual reality and remote surgery applications. The user can experience the Tactile Internet with haptic feedback through a cyber-physical input device. Furthermore, the user can understand the need for traffic prioritization by investigating the effects of different QoS settings in the 5G-TSN FlexTac testbed.
