Abstract: Fifth generation wireless networks guarantee significant capacity enhancement to suit more clients and services at higher information rates with better reliability while consuming less power. The deployment of massive multiple-input-multiple-output technology guarantees broadband wireless networks with the use of base station antenna arrays to serve a large number of users on the same frequency and time-slot channels. In this work, we evaluate the performance of massive multiple-input-multiple-output systems (MIMO) systems in 5th generation cellular networks in terms of capacity and bit error rate. Several cases were considered and analyzed to compare the performance of massive MIMO systems while varying the number of antennas at both transmitting and receiving ends. We found that, unlike classical MIMO systems, reducing the number of transmit antennas while increasing the number of antennas at the receiver end provides a better solution to performance enhancement. In addition, enhanced orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and beam division multiple access schemes further improve the performance of massive MIMO systems and make them more reliable.
Abstract: The 5th generation of mobile networks is term used in
various research papers and projects to identify the next major phase
of mobile telecommunications standards. 5G wireless networks will
support higher peak data rate, lower latency and provide best
connections with QoS guarantees.
In this article, we discuss various promising technologies for 5G
wireless communication systems, such as IPv6 support, World Wide
Wireless Web (WWWW), Dynamic Adhoc Wireless Networks
(DAWN), BEAM DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (BDMA), Cloud
Computing, cognitive radio technology and FBMC/OQAM.
This paper is organized as follows: First, we will give introduction
to 5G systems, present some goals and requirements of 5G. In the
next, basic differences between 4G and 5G are given, after we talk
about key technology innovations of 5G systems and finally we will
conclude in last Section.
