From 5G to beyond 5G: A Comprehensive Survey of Wireless Network Evolution, Challenges, and Promising Technologies

Abstract

The histrionic growth of mobile subscribers, disruptive ecosystems such as IoT-based applications, and astounding channel capacity requirements to connect trillions of devices are massive challenges of the earlier mobile generations, 5G turned up the key solution. The prime objective of the 5G network is not only to maintain a 1000-fold capacity gain and 10 Giga Bits per second delivered to a single user, but it also assured quality-of-service, higher spectral efficiency, the ultra-reliable and improved battery lifetime of devices and massive machine-type communication (mMTC). The huge traffic load and high amount of resource consumption in 5G applications, augmented reality and virtual reality for magnificent virtual experience, and wireless body area networks will seriously affect the channel capacity of cellular cells and interrupt the admission and service of other users which makes compulsory new means of channel capacity and spectral efficiency enhancement techniques. In this research, we review several key emerging wireless technologies to increase channel capacity and spectral efficiency that will not only lead to improve network performance but also meets the ever-increasing user demands. We investigate various benefits and current research challenges of using these technologies. We analyze massive multi-input multi-output technology (mMIMO) an efficient technique and promising solution for the 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) networks with several benefits and features. Moreover, this paper will be of vast help to the researchers who will involve advance investigation and also to the wireless network operator industry that is in the search for smooth development of state-of-the-art 5G and B5G networks.

Furthermore, machine learning approaches [ 63 , 72 , 86 ] can help identify malicious traffic in the network, which can help in identifying cyber threats proactively.…”

Comparison of Supervised Learning Algorithms on a 5G Dataset Reduced via Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

“…So, enhancing the reliability, capacity, and speed of channels is mandatory. There are actions to accomplish those tasks, such as massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) or low power and low latency for the tactile internet, among others [2].…”

HOLOTWIN: A Modular and Interoperable Approach to Holographic Telepresence System Development

“…From three-dimensional data acquisition techniques employing RGB and RGB-D sensors [1][2][3] to intricate processing procedures for holographic data, including three-dimensional (3D) object reconstruction [1,4,5], pose estimation [6,7], and activity prediction [8,9], the field is progressively evolving. In addition, the introduction of 5G [10][11][12][13], the anticipated emergence of 6G [14,15], and the application of AI technologies [16,17] will together enable the efficient transmission of voluminous data with minimal latency, potentially optimizing network performance and enhancing overall transmission efficacy. Lastly, rendering and AR/VR visualization have seen considerable advancements, with state-of-the-art methods like ray tracing [18,19] and neural radiance fields (NeRF) [20,21] offering increasingly realistic and immersive experiences.…”
