Abstract—This paper presents the low latency improvements achieved by the key technologies in the 5G-PPP CHARISMA project. CHARISMA uses an hierarchically organizes RAN architecture in combination with FPGA based hardware accelerated network functions to achieve the 5G low latency KPI’s. We show a significant improvement in the operational results as compared to the initial CHARISMA performance. We also include a visualisation platform showing the latency impact on a discrete automotive control application.
