  • Patent number: 10805826
    Abstract: Methods of providing quality of service support for tactile traffic are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic device notifies a controller that an application has been authorized to transmit tactile traffic in the communication network. The controller, responsive to the notification, causes the backhaul node to install a flow table entry in a flow table of the backhaul node, through which packets of the application is to be forwarded within a latency defined for the tactile traffic by the backhaul node. The electronic device authenticates a packet being sourced from or destined to the application that has been authorized to transmit the tactile traffic in the communication network, and forwards the packet within the latency defined for the tactile traffic.
