Tactile Internet (TI) enables the omnipresence and exchange of tactile experiences across the global via the ultra-reliable and ultra-responsive connectivity. This article argues for coordinated multi-point (CoMP) enabled radio access network (RAN) slicing as an efficient solution that satisfies the stringent reliable and responsive connectivity requirements for supporting tactile applications. This article presents the emerging challenges when accommodating CoMP-enabled RAN slicing in the TI ecosystem and expounds the functional split of CoMP-enabled RAN. Besides, this article elaborates on the implementation prototype of CoMP-enabled RAN slicing for TI with the coexistence of diverse vertical applications. Finally, this article studies a use case of enabling TI-included application multiplexing as an example of CoMP-enabled RAN slicing for TI.
