| 520 | 3 | |a Tactile Internet (TI) is an innovative paradigm for emerging generations of communication systems that support ultra-low latency and highly robust transmission of haptics, actuation, and immersive communication in real time. It is considered a critical facilitator for remote surgery, industrial automation, and extended reality (XR). Originally intended as a flagship application for the fifth-generation (5G) networks, their strict constraints, especially the one-millisecond end-to-end latency, ultra-high reliability, and seamless adaptation, present formidable challenges. These challenges are the bottleneck for evolution to sixth-generation (6G) networks; thus, new architects and technologies are urgently required. This survey systematically discusses the most important underlying technologies for TI and immersive communications. It especially highlights using software-defined networking (SDN) and edge intelligence (EI) as enabling technologies. SDN improves the programmability, adaptability, and dynamic control of network infrastructures. In contrast, EI exploits intelligence-based artificial intelligence (AI)-driven decision-making at the network edge for latency optimization, resource usage, and service offering. Moreover, this work describes other enabling technologies, including network function virtualization (NFV), digital twin, quantum computing, and blockchain. Furthermore, the work investigates the recent achievements and studies in which SDN and EI are combined in TI and presents their effect on latency reduction, optimum network utilization, and service stability. A comparison of several State-of-the-Art methods is performed to determine present limitations and gaps. Finally, the work provides open research problems and future trends, focusing on the importance of intelligent, autonomous, and scalable network topologies for defining the paradigm of TI and immersive communication systems. | |
