5G-Enabled Education 4.0: Enabling Technologies, Challenges, and Solutions

Abstract

New technologies such as mobile phones, social media and artificial intelligence, have significant impacts on every aspect of education, where digital connectivity is the foundation to support the way people learn. Current Internet and pre-5G cellular communication networks can deliver visual and auditory data, which enable distance/virtual learning. However, remote physical interaction between students and learning facilities, which is an essential part of a new education paradigm i.e., Education 4.0, is still missing. The 5G cellular network with excellent latency and reliability performance would be a game changer by enabling students to feel the physical objects and control them remotely. In this paper, we identify and discuss the unique opportunities the 5G networks can bring to Education 4.0, their technical challenges and potential solutions. We also showcase our Education 4.0 prototype of remote lab.

Task-Oriented Prediction and Communication Co-Design for Haptic Communications

“…Given this fact, it is reasonable to assume that D ch m is upper bound of the time horizon with consecutive packet losses. 2 With the block fading channel, the prediction horizon is bounded by T p m ≤ D ch m . In this case, the user experienced delay is equal to the communication delay, i.e.,…”

“…is the received signal to noise ratio (SNR) at BS, α m is the large-scale channel gain, g m denotes the small-scale channel gain, P m denotes the transmit power, N 0 is the single sided noise spectral density, V m = log(e) 2…”

5G technology: a perspective on transforming nursing education

“…Although 5G holds the potential to transform nursing education, it comes with inherent challenges: from initial setup costs and potential security risks to the training requirements for both faculty and students 1 . In addition, there is a significant risk that over-reliance on this technology could eclipse the value of traditional teaching.…”

“…The rapidly evolving landscape of Information and Communications Technology has significant implications for nursing education. Characterized by high speed, low latency, and capacity to connect numerous devices, 5G technology transcends the limitations of traditional learning environments 1 , turning various settings, including hospitals, clinics, campuses, and even homes, into digital learning platforms. This transformation enables nurses to acquire knowledge and practice skills with unparalleled accessibility and flexibility.…”

Working and Impact of Parliamentary Committees in the UK and Bangladesh: A Theoretical Analysis

“…A smart campus enabled by Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) would enable students to access information regarding the availability of various resources, including classrooms, laboratories, and sports equipment. Additionally, it would facilitate remote booking and scheduling services for these facilities (Kizilkaya, B., et. al., 2021).…”
