The Way to 5G Networks and Spectrum Policies to Cope with High Data Communication Consumption - The Albanian Case

Abstract

-Future generation networks and 5G as a new generation for mobile technologies are part of many studies and research work in the world today. 5G is expected to offer much more than simple higher speed in data communication. Massive Machine type of Communication (mMTC) as part of IoT, vertical data usage with very demanding KPI-s and very low latency requests are related with 5G networks developments. There are a number of challenges related with 5G standardization and developments under discussion. This article will be focused on spectrum policies for data communication in 5G networks. This article gives the results of research work on spectrum management and spectrum usage in some European countries for 5G networks. Also it identifies the main challenges related to spectrum policies in Europe countries and in Albania. In the conclusion are given some recommendations related to spectrum policies in order to cope the future demand for data communication in 5G networks.
