Abstract

This work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the most challenging aspects of the future mobile communication network, 6G and presents the latest research focussing on the promising low-latency technology which will enable eXtended Reality services. XR refers to a real and virtual man-machine interaction environment generated by computer technologies which include augmented, virtual and immersive reality. Ultra-reliable low-latency service (uRLLC) is an essential enabler of multi-modal XR applications. However, the solutions with the lowest latency and the highest reliability are costly. In the first part, we outlined the requirements and fundamental trade-offs. In the second part, we considered technological limitations and research activities.
