Connected Car
UCL researchers, with colleagues in China, have developed a new frequency-referenced multiplexing method that can provide guaranteed bandwidth and low latency for time-critical applications in the cloud. Emerging cloud applications such as virtual reality and connected car fleets demand guaranteed connections, as well as low and stable latency, to edge data centres. Consequently, the average broadband speed in the UK in September 2022 was just 65.3 megabits per second (Mb/s). In this study, the researchers from UCL developed frequency-referenced multiplexing to overcome the latency and bandwidth restraints of current approaches such as TDM. Because the user data is transmitted and received in parallel, this reduces the latency, power consumption, and capacity issues that arise with other approaches.
