Throughout the ‘ask-the-experts’ session at URLLC 2018 in London earlier this month, serialised here across a number of posts, the conversation circled back time and again to 5G use cases. What are the sync requirements? How many slices? Where is the edge? Every time,...

The URLLC debate (pt2): Why is ultra low-latency 5G so hard? (It’s not just about the radio)

In the 5G firmament, the constellation of ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) shines brightest and newest. The other star clusters, outlining enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and massive machine-type communications (mMTC), do not cast the same light. They are familiar already. In essence, they will bring go-faster...
