  While new mechanisms and configurations of the 5G radio are offering step
forward in delivery of ultra-reliable low latency communication services in
general, and haptic communications in particular, they could inversely impact
the remainder of traffic services. In this paper, we investigate the uplink
access procedure, how different advances in this procedure enhance delivery of
haptic communication, and how it affects the remainder of traffic services in
the network. We model this impact as the remainder of service, using stochastic
network calculus. Our results show how best the tradeoff between faster or more
resource efficient uplink access can be made depending on the rate of haptic
data, which is directly relevant to the application domain of haptic
communication.
