Abstract. After years of evolutional technology, current occupancies will change and may disappear and new ones will appear due to Haptic Communication. This revolution will affect surgery and healthcare, one’s life style, methods of teaching and learning, the way that it will all keep pace with user concerns. By that time, user will be formerly in Tactile Internet planet. Accordingly, this article will present the global aspect of Tactile Internet (definition, requirement, and challenges). First, a comparative study will be between wireless technologies evolution, to make sure that the 5G is the comfortable candidate to support Tactile Internet. Furthermore, this article is aimed to discover the role of the 5G in this new technology, as well as proposing some solutions sustained by 5G to enable the Tactile Internet revolution.

1 Introduction Nowadays, there is a new dimension of Human Machine Interface (HMI) concept in which we can transmit touch and feeling over a long distance. This advanced technology was launched by Fettweis in 2014 [1], and described as the Tactile Internet. The Tactile internet is the break between old technologies and the beginning of a revolution. It will allow a transition in the digital ecosystem related particularly to society, economy and health. By enabling this new technology, it is no more enough to connect objects with lower levels of power. The main idea is to share skills around the world which is called the internet of skills [2]. To illustrate, we can imagine, a surgery with the surgeon in London and the patient in Casablanca. Another example of it is a music class where the student can play with a virtual musical tool in real time and wherever he wants, using the virtual reality. Also, a huge impact will be on intelligent systems of vehicles’ circulation, gaming and smart grids [3]. Since 1980s, wireless technologies was the support human’s smart ideas. The first generation of cellular systems (1G) was announced in 1980’s. It was based on an analogue mobile communications system and it has a data rate up to 2.4 kbps. The devices used were particularly large. This generation essentially used AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System), launched in the United States, it is an analogue network based on FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) technology, NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone) was primarily designed in the © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 Y.

Nordic countries and used in other parts of the planet and Total Access Communications System (TACS), which is based on AMPS technology, has been heavily used in the UK [18]. Then, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) appeared in the 90s. This is the 2G standard. Its principle is to make phone calls, relying on digital transmissions to secure data, it has been successful and has created the
