Ultra-low latency control is one of the characteristics of 5G cellular network services, which means that the control loop is handled in milliseconds. To achieve this, it is necessary to identify time delay factors that occur in all components related to CPS control loop, including new 5G cellular network elements such as MEC, and to optimize CPS control loop in real time. In this paper, a novel CPS architecture for ultra-low latency control of CPS is designed. We first define the ultra-low latency characteristics of CPS and the CPS concept model, and then propose the design of the control loop performance monitor (CLPM) to manage the timing information of CPS control loop. Finally, a case study of MEC-based implementation of ultra-low latency CPS reviews the feasibility of future applications.

Ultra-low latency networking is a technology that reduces the end-to-end latency related to transport time-sensitive or mission-critical traffic in a network. As the proliferation of the fourth industrial revolution and 5G mobile communications continues, ultra-low latency networking is emerging as an essential technology for supporting various network applications (such as industrial control, tele-surgery, and unmanned vehicles). In this report, we introduce the ultra-low-latency networking technologies that are in progress, categorized by application area, and examine their up-to-date standard status.

Resource sharing is one of the main goals achieved by network virtualization technology to enhance network resource utilization and enable resource customization. Though resource sharing can improve network efficiency by accommodating various users in a network, limited infrastructure capacity is still a challenge to ultra-low latency service operators. In this paper, we propose an inter-slice resource borrowing schema based on the device-to-device (D2D) potentiality especially for ultra-low latency transmission in cellular networks. An extended and modified Kuhn-Munkres bipartite matching algorithm is developed to optimally achieve inter-slice resource borrowing. Simulation results show that, proper D2D user matching can be achieved, satisfying ultra-low latency (ULL) users' quality of service (QoS) requirements and resource utilization in various scenarios.

차량 네트워크, 분산 로봇과 사이버 물리 시스템 등 mission-critical 환경에서 동작하는 서비스들은 기존 서비스에 비해 latency에 대한 요구사항이 훨씬 엄격하다. 그 중 자율주행 차량 간 통신은 급격히 부상하고 있는 애플리케이션 영역으로 수 ms 수준의 엄격한 latency 요구사항을 가진다. 802.11p나 LTE-direct standards를 이용하는 현재 시스템은 이러한 수준의 ultra-low latency를 만족하지 못한다. 현재, 전체 latency의 상당부분을 medium access가 차지하기 때문에, 이 부분의 해결을 위해서는 Layer2를 수정할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 MAC layer에 초점을 맞추어 coordinator에 의한 scheduling 없이 join/leave가 자유로운 Autonomous TDMA(ATDMA)를 고안하여 scalable하면서 latency가 보장되는 MAC을 구현하였다. 또한 WAVE 프로토콜과의 비교를 통해 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하였다.

Recently, there is an increasing demand for ultra-low-latency (ULL) services such as factory automation, autonomous driving, and telesurgery that must meet an end-to-end latency of less than 10 ms. Fifth-generation (5G) New Radio guarantees 0.5 ms one-way latency, so the feasibility of ULL services is higher than in previous mobile communications. However, this feasibility ensures performance at the radio access network level and requires an innovative 5G network architecture for end-to-end ULL across the entire 5G system. Hence, we survey in detailed two the 3rd Generation Partnership Party (3GPP) standardization activities to ensure low latency at network level. 3GPP standardizes mobile edge computing (MEC), a low-latency solution at the edge network, in Release 15/16 and is standardizing time-sensitive communication in Release 16/17 for interworking 5G systems and IEEE 802.1 time-sensitive networking (TSN), a next-generation industry technology for ensuring low/deterministic latency. We developed a 5G system based on 3GPP Release 15 to support MEC with a potential sub-10 ms end-to-end latency in the edge network. In the near future, to provide ULL services in the external network of a 5G system, we suggest a 5G-IEEE TSN interworking system based on 3GPP Release 16/17 that meets an end-to-end latency of 2 ms.

Recently, ultra-low latency flash storage devices such as Z-SSD and Optane SSD were introduced with the significant technological improvement in the storage devices which provide much faster response time than today's other NVMe SSDs. With such ultra-low latency, $10{\mu}s$, storage devices the cost of context switch could be an overhead during interrupt-driven I/O completion process. As an interrupt-driven I/O completion process could bring an interrupt handling overhead, polling or hybrid-polling for the I/O completion is known to perform better. In this paper, we analyze tail latency problem in a polling process caused by process scheduling in data center environment where multiple applications run simultaneously under one system and we introduce our adaptive polling selection technique which dynamically selects efficient processing method between two techniques according to the system's conditions.

최근 상용화된 5G 이동통신의 주요한 특징은 High Data Rate와 Connection Density 그리고 Low Latency로 대표할 수 있는데, 이중 기존 4G와 가장 차별되는 특징은 Low Latency로 다양한 새로운 서비스 제공의 기반이 될 것이다. 이러한 특징을 활용한 서비스로는 AR, 자율주행 등이 검토되고 있으며 관련표준에서도 5G Network Latency 논의를 진행하고 있다. 그러나 서비스 관점의 E2E Latency 논의는 많이 부족한 것이 사실이다. 5G에서 Low Latency를 달성을 위한 최종목표는 RTD 기준 Air Interface 1ms 달성으로 이는 '20년 초 Rel-16을 통한 URLLC(Ultra-reliable Low Latency Communications)를 통해 가능하며, 추가적으로 MEC(Moble Edge Computing)를 통한 Network latency 감소도 연구 중이다. 전체 5G E2E Latency는 5G Network 관련 외에도 다양한 요인이 존재하는데, 주요 요인으로는 5G Network과 서비스 제공을 위한 IDC Server 사이의 경로에 놓인 선로/장비 Latency, 단말 App과 Server 내 서비스 처리를 위한 Processing Latency 등이 존재한다. 한편, 서비스 초기 Setup을 위한 Latency와 서비스가 지속 중인 경우의 Latency를 구분하여 세부 서비스 요구사항에 대하여 연구하는것도 필요한데, 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 서비스 초기 Setup과 관련하여 다음과 같은 세가지 요인에 대하여 검토를 진행하였다. 첫째로 (1) Data호 Setup시에 발생 가능한 Latency, 둘째 전력 효율화를 위한 (2) CRDX On/Off에 따른 영향, 마지막으로 (3) H/O가 발생되는 경우에 Latency에 대하여 Latency에 미치는 영향을 실험과 분석을 제시했다. 이를 통해 우리는 Low Latency가 필요한 서비스의 초기 Setup시에 Latency와 관련된 서비스 요구사항 및 기획에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The 5G system standardization body has been developing standard functions to provide ultra-high speed, ultra-high reliability, ultra-low latency, and ultra-connected services. In 3GPP Rel-16, which was recently completed, this system has begun to develop ultra-high reliability and ultra-low latency communication functions to support the vertical industry. It is expected that the trend in the adoption of mobile communication by the vertical industry will continue with the introduction of 5G. In this paper, we present the industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) service scenarios and requirements for the adoption of 5G systems by the vertical industry and the related standardization trend at present. In particular, we introduce the 5G time-sensitive networking standard technology, a core technology for realizing 5G-based smart factories, for IIoT services.
