Abstract
Wireless and mobile communication technologies exhibit remarkable changes in every decade. The necessity of these changes is based on the changing user demands and innovations offered by the emerging technologies. This chapter provides information on the current situation of fifth generation (5G) mobile communication systems. Before discussing the details of the 5G networks, the evolution of mobile communication systems is considered from first generation to fourth generation systems. The advantages and weaknesses of each generation are explained comparatively. Later, technical infrastructure developments of the 5G communication systems have been evaluated in the context of system requirements and new experiences of users such as 4K video streaming, tactile Internet, and augmented reality. After the main goals and requirements of the 5G networks are described, the planned targets to be provided in real applications by this new generation systems are clarified. In addition, different usage scenarios and minimum requirements for the ITU-2020 are evaluated. On the other hand, there are several challenges to be overcome for achieving the intended purpose of 5G communication systems. These challenges and potential solutions for them are described in the proceeding subsections of the chapter. Furthermore, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), millimeter wave (mmWave), mmWave massive MIMO, and beamforming techniques are clarified in a detail which are taken into account as promising key technologies for the 5G networks. Besides, potential application areas and application examples of the 5G communication systems are covered at the end of this chapter.
