Abstract The advent of 5G networks promises revolutionary changes to mobile communication, with a strong focus on providing high-speed, low-latency, and reliable connectivity. Network latency, defined as the time delay between the initiation and receipt of data transmission, is a critical performance metric in modern wireless networks. In 5G, network latency must be minimized to enable real-time applications such as autonomous driving, virtual reality (VR), and industrial automation. This paper explores the key features of 5G that impact latency, the importance of reducing network latency for various use cases, and the strategies employed to mitigate latency challenges. It discusses edge computing, network slicing, multi-access edge computing (MEC), improved radio access technologies, and efficient network protocols as major approaches. Additionally, it addresses the challenges of maintaining ultra-low latency in large-scale deployments and future research directions to further optimize latency in 5G networks.
