Organizer: IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology

Abstract: 5G and 6G networks are supposed to be give wide range of service level agreements (SLAs) due to various types of applications envisioned. For an example from 1 ms to 2000 ms delay in communication to accomplished above SLAs. However, due to various challenges the low delay with high reliability of communications still a challenge. Hence, lots of research still going on networking slicing concepts achieve above SLAs. In network slicing concept, one of the great research areas is efficient packet (information) scheduling. This talk will be covering the concepts of network scheduling and address couple of solved problems in this direction. These areas will have huge social impacts to solve SLA requirements for remote robotic operations to solve life to education, health and disaster studies.
