In mission-critical applications such as vehicular networks, distributed robotics, and other cyber-physical systems, the requirements for latency are more stringent than traditional applications. Among them, autonomous V2V communication is a rapidly emerging domain of applications with a few milliseconds' latency requirements. Today's systems utilizing 802.11p or LTE-direct standards are not primarily designed for ultra-low latency. Because the medium access function contributes to a significant portion of the total latency, it is necessary to modify Layer2 in order to solve the problem. Focusing on MAC layer, we developed a scalable and latency-guaranteed MAC by devising Autonomous TDMA (ATDMA) in which autonomous joining/leaving is allowed without scheduling by coordinator. We also evaluated the performance of the algorithm by comparing with the WAVE protocol.

The soft cancellation list (SCANL) decoding algorithm for polar codes runs L soft cancellation (SCAN) decoders with different decoding factor graphs. Although it can achieve better decoding performance than SCAN algorithm, it has high latency. In this paper, a fast simplified SCANL (Fast-SSCANL) algorithm that runs L independent Fast-SSCAN decoders is proposed. In Fast-SSCANL decoder, special nodes in each factor graph is identified, and corresponding low-latency decoding approaches for each special node is propose first. Then, syndrome check aided Fast-SSCANL (SC-Fast-SSCANL) algorithm is further put forward. The ordinary nodes satisfied the syndrome check will execute hard decision directly without traversing the factor graph, thereby reducing the decoding latency further. Simulation results show that Fast-SSCANL and SC-Fast-SSCANL algorithms can achieve the same BER performance as the SCANL algorithm with lower latency. Fast-SSCANL algorithm can reduce latency by more than 83% compared with SCANL, and SC-Fast-SSCANL algorithm can reduce more than 85% latency compared with SCANL regardless of code length and code rate.

Clusters have become a popular alternative for building high-performance parallel computing systems. Today's high-performance system area network (SAN) protocols such as VIA and IBA significantly reduce user-to-user communication latency by implementing protocol stacks outside of operating system kernel. However, emerging parallel applications require a significant improvement in communication latency. Since the time required for transferring data between host memory and network interface (NI) make up a large portion of overall communication latency, the reduction of data transfer time is crucial for achieving low-latency communication. In this paper, Eager Data Transfer (EDT) mechanism is proposed to reduce the time for data transfers between the host and network interface. The EDT employs cache coherence interface hardware to directly transfer data between the host and NI. An EDT-based network interface was modeled and simulated on the Linux-based, complete system simulation environment, Linux/SimOS. Our simulation results show that the EDT approach significantly reduces the data transfer time compared to DMA-based approaches. The EDTbased NI attains 17% to 38% reduction in user-to-user message time compared to the cache-coherent DMA-based NIs for a range of message sizes (64 bytes${\sim}$4 Kbytes) in a SAN environment.

In this paper, we propose and present implementation results of a high-speed turbo decoding algorithm. The latency caused by (de)interleaving and iterative decoding in a conventional maximum a posteriori turbo decoder can be dramatically reduced with the proposed design. The source of the latency reduction is from the combination of the radix-4, center to top, parallel decoding, and early-stop algorithms. This reduced latency enables the use of the turbo decoder as a forward error correction scheme in real-time wireless communication services. The proposed scheme results in a slight degradation in bit error rate performance for large block sizes because the effective interleaver size in a radix-4 implementation is reduced to half, relative to the conventional method. To prove the latency reduction, we implemented the proposed scheme on a field-programmable gate array and compared its decoding speed with that of a conventional decoder. The results show an improvement of at least five fold for a single iteration of turbo decoding.

Everytime a node moves out of its area, the connection to the node encounters a handover which may cause much latency. NetLMM(Network based Localized Mobility Management) supports the mobility management for such nodes and improves handover latency using MIH(Media Independent Handover) function. In this paper, we add some messages to NetLMM procedure to improve handover latency and analyze its effects through a scenario based approach

While the fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) mobile communication networks are being rolled over the globe, several world-wide companies have already started to prepare the sixth generation (6G). Such 6G mobile networks targets ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). In this paper, we challenge to reduce the inherent latency of existing non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in 5G networks of massive connectivity. First, we propose the novel unipodal binary pulse amplitude modulation (2PAM) NOMA, especially without SIC, which greatly reduce the latency in existing NOMA. Then, the achievable data rates for the unipodal 2PAM NOMA are derived. It is shown that for unequal gain channels, the sum rate of the unipodal 2PAM NOMA is comparable to that of the standard 2PAM NOMA, whereas for equal gain channels, the sum rate of the unipodal 2PAM NOMA is superior to that of the standard 2PAM NOMA. In result, the unipodal 2PAM could be a promising modulation scheme for NOMA systems toward 6G.

The lowest power mode (passive-standby mode) was proposed for reducing the power consumption of set-top boxes in a standby state when not receiving content. However, low-power set-top boxes equipped with the lowest power mode have been rarely commercialized because of their low-quality user experience. In the lowest power mode, they deactivates almost all of operational modules and processes, and thus require dozens of seconds for activation latency (that is, the latency for activating all modules of the set-top boxes in a standby state). They are not even updated in a standby state because they deactivate their network interfaces in a standby state. This paper proposes an adaptive standby mode scheduling method for improving the user experience of such boxes. Set-top boxes using the proposed method can analyze the activation pattern and find the frequently used time period (that is, when the set-top boxes are frequently activated). They prepare for their activation during this frequently used time period, thereby reducing the activation latency and enabling their update in a standby state.

In a wireless network, handover latency is very important in supporting user mobility with the required quality of service (QoS). In view of this many schemes have been developed which aim to reduce the handover latency. The Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) approach is one such scheme which reduces the high handover latency that arises when mobile nodes perform frequent handover in Mobile IPv6 wireless networks. Although HMIPv6 reduces handoff latency, failures in the mobility anchor point (MAP) results in severe disruption or total disconnection that can seriously affect user satisfaction in ongoing sessions between the mobile and its correspondent nodes. HMIPv6 can avoid this situation by using more than one mobility anchor point for each link. In [3], an improved Robust Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (RH-MIPv6) scheme is presented which enhances the HMIPv6 method by providing a fault-tolerant mobile service using two different MAPs (Primary and Secondary). It has been shown that the RH-MIPv6 scheme can achieve approximately 60% faster recovery times compared with the standard HMIPv6 approach. However, if mobile nodes perform frequent handover in RH-MIPv6, these changes incur a high communication overhead which is configured by two local binding update units (LBUs) as to two MAPs. To reduce this communication overhead, a new cost-reduced binding update scheme is proposed here, which reduces the communication overhead compared to previous schemes, by using an increased number of MAP switches. Using this new proposed method, it is shown that there is a 19.6% performance improvement in terms of the total handover latency.

Fire and disaster broadcasting systems are divided into analog, digital, and network-based digital public address systems, and important specifications in network-based digital public address systems are low-latency audio, high sampling rate, and multi-channel input and output. In the past, it has been widely used to the AoE method for distinguishing based on the MAC address of the data link layer. However, this method has a problem of increasing complexity and cost. This proposal is an AoIP/UDP method, which allows communication to be easily distinguished by IP address without the need for a separate redundant network, so that the network can be freely used and configured, and cost can be reduced by reducing complexity. After implementing the AoIP/UDP method, the experimental results showed that the cost was improved with the equivalent performance with 2.66ms latency.
