4G/5G: A Comparative Study and Overview on What to Expect from 5G
Gordana Barb, Marius Oteşteanu
Abstract
5G is the next generation of cellular communication systems. An agreement was established by international standard organizations on the key requirements proposed for 5G. The expectations are extremely high, which is understandable, since 5G will support many more users than the current mobile generation, new applications will emerge that will demand larger bandwidths and it will handle the consequent surging mobile network traffic. This article provides an extensive comparison on key requirements and performance, network architecture, multiplexing techniques, frequency spectrum bands, and applications between 4G and 5G, providing an overview on what to expect from the next mobile generation.
