5G SUMMIT KEYNOTE SPEECH BY TOKTAM MAHMOODI ON “SHAVING THE MILLISECONDS OF COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKING PROTOCOLS”

ABSTRACT

Among the major transitions in 5G, is the enablement of mega scale utilities such as extremely higher data rate, significantly lower latency, and close-to-perfect coverage and reliability. The most challenging of these utilities is achieving ultra-low latency together with extreme reliability. While there are various developments on the wireless air interface, getting to milliseconds latencies throughout global connectivity is only possible if end-to-end communication protocols are leaned and extra delays are carved out. This talk overview number of techniques for leaning the communication and networking protocols and shaving the extra milliseconds, with examples of ultra-low latency use cases that are enabled through these techniques.

DATE, TIME, AND MEETING ROOM
