Critical Machine Type Communication

This chapter will provide insights on how 5G caters to critical machine type communication and low latency services. Specifically, how it caters to the challenges imposed by relevant use cases such as Public Safety, V2X, Industrial Control, Tactile Internet and Haptic communication. It will also provide an overview of requirements and challenges due to these use cases. It will include a solution overview from architecture, core and radio perspective.
