Highlights that this fight against latency is won with changes in the network architecture and in the protocols and procedures used. What has been done regarding the architecture is to gradually eliminate entities. Nodes. in the path of the data . Before, a packet to go out to the Internet from the mobile went through four logical entities, while with 5G it only goes through two, which are the base station and, directly, the exit router, he explains. We have simplified things. We have lowered the times between resource allocations.
which are given to a mobile to transmit, and simplified what the mobile has to do to collect the data and end up sending it over the air, Monserrat refers in this case to the protocols and adds a point. For this to be possible, a lot of money had to be invested in fiber optic photo editor runs and, above all, in . The procedures are another of the aspects that have also been modified. And it's done in a big way, compared to the standards of years ago. In 5G it is possible for two devices to communicate with each other, without going through the base station.

This significantly reduces the latency time, says the UPV professor. Although one of the best-known formulas that 5G has to reduce latency is edge computing. It is also possible to activate services on the base station itself. It is as if the web server that gives me the web page is hosted in that base station that we see on the streets, on top of the buildings. By reducing the distance between client and server, we greatly reduce latency, explains Monserrat. Difficulties Network improvements to reduce latency depend on a number of factors.
