A High-Performance 5G/6G Infrastructure for Augmented, Virtual, and Extended Reality
Jeffrey Wallace, Angelica Valdivia
Abstract
Fully developed 5G application delivery services at the mobile edge with reliable "round trip" low latency such as the "motion to photon" measurements in augmented, virtual, and extended reality (AR/VR/XR) systems are not commercially available yet. In fact, these features may well be a part of 6G infrastructures since viable business models, applications, and supporting technology such as military tactical headsets capable of AR/VR/XR in day/night operations are just coming to market and becoming available. Additionally, the first generations of AR/VR devices and 5G infrastructure have provided lessons-learned for technology developers eager to field useful systems with customer appeal. This paper describes the infrastructure for one of the Department of Defense 5G programs focused on AR/VR for military training.
