Abstract: The coming Beyond 5G (B5G) era could mark a paradigm shift towards user-centric Quality of Experience (QoE) centred network architectures. The infusion of QoE user requirements into network architectures will be crucial for future ultra-reliable, ultra-low latency haptic-enabled Internet applications. One such application will be the mission-critical use case of remote (tele-haptic) robotic surgery, signifying a transition towards skillset delivery networks that will augment user task performance experience. In extending traditional Quality of Service (QoS)-oriented networks to user focused QoE and with it, Quality of Task (QoT) components, human users in a global control loop (such as robotic surgeons) will be capable of true-to-life immersive remote task performance through the manipulation of objects in real-time, and of transcending geographical distance. In this preliminary study using data elicited from 20 practising robotic surgeons (n = 20), we examine the emergence of a future B5G network and haptic-enabled Internet of Skills (IoS) architecture, applied to the task-sensitive mission-critical use case of remote (tele-haptic) robotic surgery. We conceptualise and demonstrate the use of non-linear Task-Technology Fit (TTF) predictive modelling to empirically assess this futuristic use case, and in doing so, provide a novel QoE/QoT perspective of future B5G communication networks.
