Investigating The Effect of Latency in A 5G Infrastructure for Applications Requiring Ultra-Low Latency

Due to its limited coverage, the 5G network that is now implemented is not expected to be widely available elsewhere in the world until sometime in the near future. When compared to the present generation, the 4G mobile network, performance and reliability will be much improved. 5G has a packet latency that is nearly 10 times lower than current 4G networks. Multiple 5G use cases need a packet delay of less than 1 ms. Tactile Internet, which allows machinery and equipment to be remotely operated with great sensitivity through mobile network, and virtual reality (VR) are all examples of promising new services that need extremely low latency. This study's findings will aid in the identification of the many factors that contribute to packet delay in a real-world 5G network. This data is compiled to identify the specific causes of packet delay.
