Achieving Ultra-High Reliability for Haptic Communications in 6G Mobile Networks
Haptic communications require ultra-high reliability to provide real-time interact among human beings and remote machines. 6G mobile networks (beyond 5G) are the most prominent candidates to support haptic communications. This article describes technologies in 6G mobile networks, and how these technologies can support haptic communications. Reliability challenges to enable haptic communications are discussed by considering millimeter wave (mmWave) propagation features. To achieve ultra-high handoff reliability for haptic communications, we introduce a centralized system embedded with Markov decision process to dynamically determine the admissions of transmission requests aiming to mitigate handoff failure. We also discuss potential future work on ensuring handoff reliability for multiple parallel links in haptic communications.
