5G Mobile Network

5G Research

Key concepts suggested in research papers discussing 5G and beyond 4G wireless communications are:

• Real wireless world with no more limitation with access and zone issues.
• Wearable devices with AI capabilities.
• Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6), where a visiting care-of mobile IP address is assigned according to location and connected network.
• One unified global standard.
• Pervasive networks providing ubiquitous computing: The user can simultaneously be connected to several wireless access technologies and seamlessly move between them (See Media independent handover or vertical handover, IEEE 802.21, also expected to be provided by future 4G releases). These access technologies can be a 2.5G, 3G, 4G, or 5G mobile networks, Wi-Fi, WPAN, or any other future access technology. In 5G, the concept may be further developed into multiple concurrent data transfer paths.
• Cognitive radio technology, also known as smart-radio: allowing different radio technologies to share the same spectrum efficiently by adaptively finding unused spectrum and adapting the transmission scheme to the requirements of the technologies currently sharing the spectrum. This dynamic radio resource management is achieved in a distributed fashion, and relies on software defined radio.See also the IEEE 802.22 standard for Wireless Regional Area Networks.
• High altitude stratospheric platform station (HAPS) systems.

The radio interface of 5G communication systems is suggested in a Korean research and development program to be based on beam division multiple access (BDMA) and group cooperative relay techniques.

5G NEWS

On July 7, 2008, South Korea announced plans to spend 60 billion won, or US$58,000,000, on developing 4G and even 5G technologies, with the goal of having the highest mobile phone market share by 2012, and the hope of an international standard.
