Study and Analysis of 5G Research Activities
Abstract
This paper summarizes the key initiatives in favor of 5G wireless communication networks. Recent program and project activities and documents are highlighted. A closer examination of a series of 5G-related projects in the European Union is carried out. The literature review is limited to recent issues of IEEE Communications 5G Journal and related white papers from various sources. The aim is to shed light on what 5G is: what are the foundations of the basic concept of 5G systems, what the key challenges are, and how to overcome them. The researched benchmarks indicate that in addition to the technologies that increase capacity, 5G must offer, such as low latency, super-reliable communication, and massive connectivity. Therefore, the most demanding part of the 5G development process will be the design of a system concept platform that is sufficiently flexible to enable the successful integration and management of various discrete technologies optimized for different use cases.
