After all, IP has formed the foundation of communications networks for decades and eventually become a platform which has dominated cellular communications; in the debut of HSPA, into the launching of the most recent 4G networks.

However, as we advance further into the program and IoT dominated planet of 5G, shortcomings of IP have become evident. The poor ability of TCP to deal with cellular channel characteristics are understood for a while, as have inefficiencies brought on by large header dimensions on the communicating of IoT and voice packs.

Looking to the near future, it is clear new demands will be put on IP networks. However, what are the prerequisites and how should new technology help tackle them? This is the subject of a successful workshop directed by Cambridge Consultants in collaboration with ETSI and UK5G around the 26 April.

Handling the brand new movie streaming content (which now dominates traffic in both cellular and wireline networks); in 360 level and augmented/virtual fact, to 4k and 8K resolution.
The capability of IP to use new technologies on the system side. Including virtualisation and the supply of resources across the community.
The capability to deal with the greater reliability and reduced latency needs of autonomous vehicles and Industrial IoT.
Central to fulfilling with the connectivity requirements set with these applications is going to be the capability of new protocols that are more mindful of the requirements of freedom and managing requirements like bounded latency, throughput along with also the necessity to become context conscious.

Meeting the pressures and strains being placed on resource constrained mobile networks from using TCP/IP to encourage new programs and to induce efficiency gains that enhance both the carrier company case and end-customer QoS is an increasing field of innovation and It is becoming evident that new technologies provide considerable scope to encourage these requirements.

These were only a few of the questions and breakthrough inventions raised throughout the workshop, with the intent of taking into the broader community to understand that their viability and ultimately accelerate the growth of high performance media.
