What is the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication?
The demand for higher data rates in wireless communications due to extensive use of multimedia applications and video streaming is always on the rise. 5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology, which is completely wireless with almost no limitations, also can be called REAL wireless world. There are many features that 5G can offer: high resolution for crazy cell phone users, enhanced and available connectivity around the world. The 5G technology is providing up to 25 Mbps connectivity speed. The new 5G technology will make all delivery service obsolete in the future. 5G system will not be a single technology but rather a combination of integrated RATs [radio access technologies]. Right now, there are no 5G phones and devices to use the new technology, although manufacturers like Samsung, LG, and HTC are experimenting with new designs. While the specifics are unclear, the 5G concept is mind-boggling and complex. The 2G network focused on voice, 3G on data, and 4G on video; the new 5G network will be all about connections.
This talk will highlight the features of 5G technology, mark its challenges, will give an overview on recent research, as well as on the evolution from the first generation to the fifth generation.
