5G technology has recently come into focus and different regions are anxious about deploying 5G at the earliest. Wireless industry is currently experimenting 5G technology i.e. fifth generation of wireless network technology.A number of companies, governments and institutes have started to lay the ground for 5G technology and nobody wants to be left behind. 5G which is expected to be faster, less power consuming will complement 4G in coming years.
5G
technology market is segmented by technology as Wi-Fi, RAT (radio
access technologies), WiMAX (worldwide interoperability for microwave
access), HSPA (high speed package access) and GSM (global system for
mobile).With 5G, RAT systems will need to be completely redesigned to
accommodate a new mobile access paradigm of massive capacity and fast
network speeds.Such breakthroughs in wireless network will also drive
economic and societal growth globally.Geographically, the 5G
technology market is segmented as North America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, Middle-East and Africa and Latin America.The United States
and Japan are expected to be the most potential regionsin the 5G
technology market.In the United States, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has started the assessment of the allocation of
frequencies for 5G. China, Korea are striving to take over the 5G
technology market and are experimenting with the technology.
Some
of the key features of the 5G technology are expected to be,support
for M2M/IoT,Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output(MIMO), millimeter
wave, spectrum sharing, application and device-centric network
architectures.The standards for 5G are likely to be defined in 2018.
5G is expected to witness an explosion of applications and services
companies. Applications such as autonomous driving,distant learning,
multi-user gaming and video conferencing, opera livestreaming,
augmented reality, telemedicine and many others will inescapably
drive the need for higher performance from the network thus boosting
the 5G technology market. 5G will push mobile network performance and
capability and will provide the foundational infrastructure for
building smart cities. The major challenge for 5G technology is
enormously wide variation in the requirements. Moreover, the new 5G
technology will need to address drawbacks of the previous generation
technologies. For instance, 5G cellular systems will overcome the
lack of coverage, dropped calls and low performance concerns in the
4G systems.Some of the potential 5G features will get incorporated in
LTE-A+,as a result of which clear demarcation between the two will be
difficult.
Most
of the companies are planning to launch 5G technology in 2020. The
major universities and companiesactively involved in the 5G
technology market are Alcatel-Lucent S.A., Deutsche Telekom AG,
Aalborg University, BMW Group Research and Technology, Aalto
University, Orange S.A., Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Chalmers University
of Technology, Qualcomm Inc., NTT DOCOMO Inc., Ericsson
(Telefonaktiebolaget L. M. Ericsson), KTH - Royal Institute of
Technology, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., National and
KapodistrianUniversity ofAthens,Samsung,PUT - Poznan University of
Technology, Nokia Siemens Networks, RWTH Aachen University,
University of Bremen, Institut Mines-Télécom, University of Oulu,
Telecom Italia, University of Kaiserslautern, UPV -
UniversitatPolitècnica de València among others. 5G will reshape
not only the wireless industry but all other industries around it.
