5G Technology
Radio technologies have evidenced a rapid and multidirectional
evolution with the launch of the analogue cellular systems in
1980s. Thereafter, digital wireless communication systems are
consistently on a mission to fulfil the growing need of human
beings (1G…4G, or now 5G).
The Fifth Generation technology has many salient features potential enough to solve many of the
problems of our mundane life. In comparison to previous radio technologies, 5G has following
advancement − practically possible to avail the super speed i.e. 1 to 10 Gbps; latency will be 1
millisecond (end-to-end round trip); 1,000x
bandwidth per unit area; feasibility to connect 10 to
100 number of devices; worldwide coverage; about 90% reduction in network energy usage;
battery life will be much longer; whole world will be in Wi-Fi zone. As researchers say, with the
wide range of bandwidth radio channels, the 5G Wi-Fi technology will offer contiguous and
consistent coverage − “wider area mobility in true sense.”
Architecture of 5G
is highly advanced, its network elements and various terminals are
characteristically upgraded to afford a new situation. Likewise, service providers can implement
the advance technology to adopt the value-added services easily.
However, upgradeability is based upon cognitive radio technology that includes various significant
features such as ability of devices to identify their geographical location as well as weather,
temperature, etc. Cognitive radio technology acts as a transceiver (beam) that perceptively can
catch and respond radio signals in its operating environment. Further, it promptly distinguishes the
changes in its environment and hence respond accordingly to provide uninterrupted quality service.
The system model of 5G is entirely IP based model designed for the wireless and mobile networks.
The system comprising of a main user terminal and then a number of independent and autonomous
radio access technologies. Each of the radio technologies is considered
as the IP link for the
outside internet world. The IP technology is designed exclusively to ensure sufficient control data
for appropriate routing of IP packets related to a certain application connections, i.e. sessions
between client applications and servers somewhere on the Internet. Moreover, to make accessible
routing of packets should be fixed in accordance with the given policies of the user.
The 5G MasterCore is convergence point for the other technologies, which have their own impact
on existing wireless network. Interestingly, its design facilitates MasterCore to get operated into
parallel multimode including all IP network mode and 5G network mode. In this mode, it controls
all network technologies of RAN and Different Access Networks (DAT). Since, the technology is
compatible and manages all the new deployments (based on 5G), it is more efficient, less
complicated, and more powerful.

Surprisingly, any service mode can be opened under 5G New
Deployment Mode as World
Combination Service Mode (WCSM). WCSM is a wonderful feature of this technology; for
example, if a professor writes on the white board in a country – it can be displayed on another
white board in any other part of the world besides conversation and video. Further, new services
can be easily added through parallel multimode service.
The 5
th
generation technology is designed to provide incredible and remarkable data capabilities,
unhindered call volumes, and immeasurable data broadcast within
the latest mobile operating
system. Hence, it is more intelligent technology, which will interconnect the entire world without
limits. Likewise, our world would have universal and uninterrupted access to information,
communication, and entertainment that will open a new dimension to our lives and will change our
life style meaningfully.
5G is the forthcoming revolution of mobile technology. The features and its usability are much
beyond the expectation of a normal human being. With its ultra-high speed, it is potential enough to
change the meaning of a cell phone usability.
With a huge
array of innovative features, now your smart phone would be more parallel to the
laptop. You can use broadband internet connection; other significant features that fascinate people
are more gaming options, wider multimedia options, connectivity everywhere, zero latency, faster
response time, and high quality sound and HD video can be transferred on other cell phone without
compromising with the quality of audio and video.
Moreover, governments and regulators can use this technology as an opportunity for the good
governance and can create healthier environments, which will definitely encourage continuing
investment in 5G, the next generation technology.
Normally, it is expected that the time period required for the 5G technology development and its
implementation is about two years more from now (by 2020). But to becoming usable for the
common
people in developing countries, it could be even more.
