Understanding 5G Networks

5G is the fifth generation of cellular network technology that promises significantly faster data transfer speeds than 4G. It aims to improve data rates up to 20 Gbps, increase connection density, lower latency and reduce energy usage. While 5G will enable new applications like self-driving cars and interconnected IoT devices, it also faces challenges like using higher frequency radio waves that require more power and cause more heating, as well as issues with interference that can be addressed using beamforming technology.

5th generation mobile network (5G)

5G is the fifth-generation cellular network. Cellular network is a communication network


where last link is wireless. A cellular network is used by the mobile phone operation to
achieve both coverage and capacity for their subscribers. Other than 5G, cellular network also
involves 1G (First generation),2G, 2.5G, 2.75G, 3G, 3.5G, 3.75G, 4G.
1G(First generation) was introduced in early 1980’s having the facility of voice only using
analog technology. 2G which is the modified version of 1G launched with sms and mms
service. Before making the major leap from 2G to 3G wireless networks, the lesser-known
2.5G and 2.75G were interim standards that bridged the gap. They served mostly as
marketing tools to promote new cell phone features to the public. 3G provided more data,
video calling and mobile internet with the speed of 2 Mbps. 4G supports mobile web access
like 3G does and also gaming services, HD mobile TV, video conferencing, 3D TV, and
other features that demand high speeds.

5G is a not-yet-implemented wireless technology that's intended to improve on 4G. 5G


promises significantly faster data rates, higher connection density, much lower latency, and
energy savings, among other improvements.The anticipated theoretical speed of 5G
connections is up to 20 Gbps per second. It has varies applications like self-driving cars,
interconnected IOT devices, Health care etc.

Though the 5G opens a new era in the fields of mobile networks, it has some drawbacks. 5G
uses higher energy millimetre wave technology(radiation). Millimetre waves are non-ionising
in nature due to which there is more heating. 5G also require much more band width .These
problem can be avoided by using small cell network, but it is too costly. 5G uses massive
MIMO Technology, yet it faces the problem of series interference and causes loss of signal.
Using beamforming technology it can be solved. Beam forming is like a traffic signalling for
cellular network
