Multi-sensory data transmission using 5G and B5G enabled network for healthcare: survey

Abstract The study investigates the feasibility of utilizing 5G and its future iterations (B5G) networks for the transmission of multi-sensory data, including audio, visual, haptic, olfactory, and gustatory data. The advent of 5G and B5G technologies has enabled the transmission of a wide range of sensory information in real-time or near real-time, thanks to their exceptional speed, low latency, and large capacity. The idea behind this review is to explore the technological developments that facilitate the transmission of data, such as layered protocols. This article aims to provide an overall survey and use cases for sensory data transmitted using 5G and B5G networks. The objective of this survey is to focus on challenges for multiple sensor data transmission using 5G and beyond network technologies, as well as how significant is to receive this information without losing them. Moreover, it tackles the inherent difficulties associated with guaranteeing adequate bandwidth, minimal latency, high quality of service, and robust security for the transmission of multi-sensory data via wireless networks. The goal is to provide an introductory overview for researchers, engineers, and practitioners who are interested in exploiting 5G and B5G networks to leverage the revolutionary capabilities of multi-sensory data transmission. The future scope at the end also highlights how to add enhancement in this field.
