The Tactile Internet (TI) is an emerging area of research involving 5G and beyond (B5G) communications to enable real-time interaction of haptic data over the Internet between tactile ends, with audio-visual data as feedback. This emerging TI technology is viewed as the next evolutionary step for the Internet of Things (IoT) and is expected to bring about a massive change in Healthcare 4.0, Industry 4.0 and autonomous vehicles to resolve complicated issues in modern society. This vision of TI makes a dream into a reality. This article aims to provide a comprehensive survey of TI, focussing on design architecture, key application areas, potential enabling technologies, current issues, and challenges to realise it. To illustrate the novelty of our work, we present a brainstorming mind-map of all the topics discussed in this article. We emphasise the design aspects of the TI and discuss the three main sections of the TI, i.e., master, network, and slave sections, with a focus on the proposed application-centric design architecture. With the help of the proposed illustrative diagrams of use cases, we discuss and tabulate the possible applications of the TI with a 5G framework and its requirements. Then, we extensively address the currently identified issues and challenges with promising potential enablers of the TI. Moreover, a comprehensive review focussing on related articles on enabling technologies is explored, including Fifth Generation (5G), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), Cloud/Edge/Fog Computing, Multiple Access, and Network Coding. Finally, we conclude the survey with several research issues that are open for further investigation. Thus, the survey provides insights into the TI that can help network researchers and engineers to contribute further towards developing the next-generation Internet.

“…In traditional edge networks, workflow scheduling lacks the flexibility to dynamically allocate resources on demand 34 . Therefore, SDN and MEC are able to be integrated, with user workflow captured through SDN data platform, and appropriate resources are flexibly combined to ensure the autonomous execution of a data‐intensive scientific workflow 12,35,36 . Currently, SDN has been integrated with edge computing in many research to provide some advantages, including the utilization of decentralized resources, the reduction of time and privacy protection 12,37–39 …”

Edge computing, an extension of cloud computing, is introduced to provide sufficient computing and storage resources for mobile devices. Moreover, a series of computing tasks in a mobile device are set as structured computing processes and flows to achieve effective management by the workflow. However, the execution uncertainty caused by performance degradation, service failure, and new service additions remains a huge challenge to the user's service experience. In order to address the uncertainty, a software-defined network (SDN)-based edge computing framework and a dynamic resource provisioning (UARP) method are proposed in this paper. The UARP method is implemented in the proposed framework and addresses the uncertainty through the advantages of SDN. In addition, the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-III is employed to optimize two goals, that is, the energy consumption and the completion time, to obtain balanced scheduling strategies. The comparative experiments are performed and the results show that the UARP method is superior to other methods in addressing the uncertainty, while reducing energy consumption and shortening the completion time.

“…The related literature highlights several cases of NSPs adoption, along with other paradigms and emerging technologies. In [14], a self-adaptive and latency-sensitive system is outlined, which uses state-of-the-art topology information to assist in the intelligent management of network services provided by the controllers -such as Quality of Service (QoS) policy managers and traffic analyzers -as well as to fulfill the minimum end-to-end communications latency requirements for 5G scenarios. Another study [15] introduces a system for real-time error correction in multimedia transmissions through machine learning techniques and traffic analysis applications provided by SDN controllers.…”

Enhancing Orchestration and Infrastructure Programmability in SDN With NOTORIETY

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controllers are nowadays expected to manage large infrastructures and services in a practical, efficient, and optimized way. To achieve such control, SDN networks should increase the automation of orchestration functions to fullfil both service and network management lifecycles. However, network management applications have stringent resource demands that orchestrators need to honor. Most of the available orchestrators focus on high-level approaches that rely exclusively on the Northbound API (NB-API). A few strategies have also been designed to optimize the controllers' internal mechanisms through features enabled by the Southbound API (SB-API). However, such solutions do not focus on optimal information delivery to the orchestrator, a crucial property to provide prompt feedback in response to network events, and to potentially drive self-healing and autoscaling properties. To address such need, we present NOTORIETY, an orchestration system that provides an abstraction for real-time SDN network controller event message handling. NOTORIETY is able to maximize the orchestration capabilities of SDN controllers including innovative features for processing and delivering network event information. NOTORIETY's design consists of mechanisms that empower SDNcontrolled entities by applying filtering rules to efficiently control and optimize data flows provided by the SDN controller. We implemented a testbed to assess our NOTORIETY proposal following the guidelines provided in the RFC 8456, and we benchmark its performance over three SDN controllers (OpenDaylight, ONOS, and Floodlight). The evaluation results reveal the effectiveness of NOTORIETY in reducing the execution time of SDN requests, load processing, and overall data marshaling volume in several scenarios.
