An overview of 5G Technology and Challenges

Abstract

Main objective of this paper is to make a comprehensive study of 5G technology.5G Networks will provide many benefits over the currently available 4G LTE networks. Main goal of 5G technology is to meet the demands of high user data rates. 5G wireless technology is supposed to provide more capabilities than the previous wireless technology. It will provide high data rates, high reliability and low latency. Main components of 5G networks will be high frequency bands, device to device communication and multiple antennas for transmission. This paper highlights all these components. It also highlights various different challenges which are faced by 5G technology. Some of these components are already used in the previous high speed networks and some of them are still under development phase.
