Low-Latency in Wireless Communication

Abstract: This paper focus is on access-layer technologies targeting low-latency robust and spectrally-efficient transmission in a set of emerging application scenarios. Two basic types of wireless networks are considered, namely long-term LTE-Advanced cellular networks and medium-range rapidly deployable mesh networks. In cellular networks, research is focused on transmission technologies in support of gaming services which will undoubtedly prove to be a strategic revenue area for operators in the years to come. We also consider machine-to-machine (M2M) applications in mobile environments using sensors connected to public infrastructure (in train, buses, stations, etc.)
