The fifth generation of communications networks (5G) is not an evolution of the previous generations, but will constitute a revolution. Not only it will allow improvement in terms of quality of existing services, but also will enable several new heterogeneous applications that are not feasible with the current networks. One of the most promising research direction in the context of 5G is the Tactile Internet, an Internet network aimed at providing ultra-low latency with ultra-high availability, reliability, and ultra-secure end-to-end communication. The focus of this paper is on the Tactile Support Engine (TSE) component of a Tactile Internet Network slice. To be specific, the objective of this paper is to propose an architecture of the TSE, and integrate it with the other components of the entire Tactile Internet framework. We also present one of the most promising use cases, consisting of a video game running on a tablet controlled by a mini-stylus touch pen moved by a Linear Actuator, that is controlled by a remote player. Experimental and simulation results are provided to measure performances and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed TSE in low-latency application scenarios.

第五代通信网络（5G）不是前几代的演进，而是一场革命。它不仅可以改善现有服务的质量，而且还可以启用当前网络不可行的几种新的异构应用程序。5G背景下最有前途的研究方向之一是Tactile Internet，它是一种旨在提供超低延迟，超高可用性，可靠性和超安全端到端通信的互联网网络。本文的重点是触觉Internet网络切片的触觉支持引擎（TSE）组件。具体而言，本文的目的是提出TSE的体系结构，并将其与整个Tactile Internet框架的其他组件集成。我们还介绍了最有前途的用例之一，包括在平板电脑上运行的视频游戏，该平板电脑由由线性执行器控制的微型手写笔触摸笔控制，该笔由远程播放器控制。提供了实验和仿真结果，以测量性能并证明所提出的TSE在低延迟应用方案中的效率。
