About

Amit Samanta is a leading researcher in the field of wireless communications, with a primary focus on enabling the next generation of ultra-reliable, low-latency networks. His work is central to the development of the Tactile Internet, where human-to-machine and machine-to-machine interactions require near-instantaneous feedback. Samanta’s most-cited paper, “On Low Latency Uplink Scheduling for Cellular Haptic Communication to Support Tactile Internet” (2021), addresses a critical bottleneck in haptic communication: the scheduling of uplink transmissions to minimize delay. This contribution is foundational for applications like remote surgery, autonomous driving, and immersive virtual reality, where even milliseconds of latency can be catastrophic. By proposing novel scheduling algorithms that optimize resource allocation in cellular networks, Samanta’s work directly tackles the stringent latency requirements of 5G and beyond. His research has garnered attention within the wireless community, with his key paper accumulating 5 citations, a sign of its growing influence in a nascent field. Samanta’s achievements underscore his role in shaping the infrastructure for a truly responsive, interconnected world, making him a vital voice in the evolution of tactile and haptic communication systems.
