5G: The future of Networking is READY

What is 5G?

5G may be defined as the forthcoming generation of our mobile networking, the current being 4G and hence the name 5G.

The inexactness of 5G is that it is just a “Concept” as of today as the wireless communication companies have not set any standards for and around this new network.

5G will be bringing us with more Improvements, High Internet Speeds, but it may also be compromise as of a suite of better technologies.

Benefits of 5G:

·        It may make unified global standards for all devices.

·        The availability of network will be much better and will help people to use their gadgets whenever, wherever.

·        Thanks to the IPv6 technology, the visiting care of IP addresses shall be given as per the network to which it is connected and the geographical position.

·        We may see a real Wi-Fi zone across cities.

·        Even at higher altitude level, the radio signals may be available.

5G in India:

                As the pattern follows for the previous generations of Mobile Technology, we can expect 5G to be launched in 3-5 years from now (Nearly 2020), but may take more time for being usable for use common people.



The speed of 5G will be considerably high. As per the MCW (Mobile World Congress), after the introduction of 5G in India we will be able to download HD movies of over 8 GBs in nearly 10 seconds, giving much more speed than 4G which downloads it in 7 minutes and our old best friend 3G took hours to download.

The 4G LTE networks as of today can support a maximum of 4 receivers and 8 transmitters, 5G networks will easily support more than a dozen receivers and transmitters.

Evolution:

          As of today, LTE/4G has proven itself to be the most successful communication technologies worldwide. It has to continue its role in communication technology for years to come. It is currently very well positioned and will deliver the most important 5G requirements. As LTE is continuing to evolve, operators need to prepare for 5G. They need to find the solutions to the problems of growth of current services of our current networks.

          Mobile networks and networking have already joined our daily lives, but our expectation towards them is continuously changing. 5G network is currently the key for keeping pace with the evolving Networked society. Opportunities are having new high-bandwidth application, Internet of Things(IoT)’s low latency powered services and much more.

          The evolution of network to 5G will surely satisfy all these needs and connectivity for any gadget or application that may be beneficial to us.

Communications

Architecture:

By now we might have got the idea that the architecture of 5G would be highly advanced. Various network terminals and network elements would be upgraded so that 5G is made affordable.

The above figure shows us that the 5G network will possess an IP based model design for the communication devices. The system shall comprise of main user terminal connected to many radio access technologies. Each and every radio technology can be considered as the IP link to the world. The IP technology is basically designed to ensure sufficient data control for the routing of the IP packets concerning their desired application connections.

Moreover, for making accessible routing of packets should be fixed with accordance with the given user policies as shown in the diagram below.

Master Core Technology

                                This Technology controls all the modes of DAT(Different Access Network) and RAN. This technology manages all new deployment and is highly compatible, it is much more powerful, efficient and less complicated.

Bandwidth

Every generation of mobile network are usually assigned new and better frequency bands which provides wider spectral bandwidth per channel frequency.

The First Generation(1G) had bands up to 30kHZ, the second generation(2G) possessed bands up to 200kHZ, the third generation (3G) constituted bands of 5MHz and our current generation 4G has bands up to 20MHz, providing very less room for new frequency bands, larger channel bandwidth for land-mobile radio.

K-band transmission is overlapped by higher frequencies transmission of communication satellite. From users point of views the mobile generations have seen considerable increase in peak bitrate, up to 1 GB/s is offered by 4G.

Spectrum Bands:

Lower energy bands of ranges 3300-4200 MHz and 4400-4990 MHz are the primary spectrum bands for first trials and introduction of 5G in a number of countries and regions in the world, including: -

Europe       - 3400-3800MHz for which trial licenses are awarded.

China      - 3300-3600 MHz for which the trial is ongoing

4400-4500 MHz and 4800-4990 MHz trails for this are also to be considered

Japan     - 3600-4200 MHz and 4400-4900 MHz

Korea    - 3400-3700 MHz

USA - 3100-3550 MHz and 3700-4200 MHz
