DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gerhard P. Fettweis\nWith 5G arriving\, we are entering 
 a new phase of deploying communications infrastructure. Today the network 
 is mainly used for moving content\, e.g. videos\, web data\, emails\, and 
 audio. However\, neither are sensors widely connected to a ubiquitous netw
 ork\, nor can we remote control real and/or virtual objects. In the latter
  case we require the installation of the "Tactile Internet"\, i.e. a netwo
 rk which allows for 1-10ms end-to-end response latency. Once this is achie
 ved\, humans\, machines\, as well as robots will be able to interact in re
 al-time with virtual as well as real objects\, enabling applications spann
 ing the economies of health & care\, manufacturing\, mobility\, edutainmen
 t\, events\, and energy. Each new economic opportunity on its own is a mar
 ket of similar value as cellular is today.\n\nHowever\, each opportunity c
 omes with differing boundary conditions on the Tactile Internet\, as we ha
 ve learnt from our project fastZwanzig20 and the 5G Lab Germany. Many appl
 ications require that the system operates with a minimum downtime\, measur
 ed e.g. as outage. For manufacturing this can be as low as 10^-8\, which i
 s in stark contrast to well-designed 4G networks that deliver an outage of
  3% at the cost of a latency generating HARQ. We can show with first theor
 etical results that new concepts allow for low latency reliable communicat
 ions.\n\nTo design the Tactile Internet\, today's cellular networks with a
  best-in-class response latency of 25ms must be redesigned from a physical
  layer up to the application layer. Due to the slow speed of light of 200k
 m/ms over fiber\, central web servers must be augmented by a distributed M
 obile Edge Cloud\, with new server architectures\, operating systems\, and
  more. This requires the design of hardware architectures and low-level sc
 heduling methodologies\, revisiting and rethinking some basic design princ
 iples. In this talk some basic ideas will be addressed which have been dev
 eloped at TU Dresden\, showing solutions from hardware architecture\, sign
 al processing and modulation\, to edge server design.\n\nBio: Gerhard P. F
 ettweis earned his Ph.D. under H. Meyr at RWTH Aachen. After one year at 
 IBM Research\, San Jose\, CA\, he moved to TCSI Inc.\, Berkeley. Since 199
 4 he is Vodafone Chair Professor at TU Dresden\, Germany\, with 20 compani
 es sponsoring his research on wireless transmission and chip design. He co
 ordinates 2 DFG centers at TU Dresden (cfaed and HAEC)\, the 5G Lab German
 y\, has spun-out fifteen start-ups\, and is member of the German academies
  “Leopoldina” as well as “acatech”.
