5G and Beyond

Abstract

5G will bring enormous socioeconomic benefits. The heart of 5G New Radio is a set of fundamental technologies, making 5G capable of providing much more efficient networks, enabling new services, new ecosystems, and new revenues. The technologies continue to be evolved to further expand the 5G ecosystem and transform vertical industries. The main objective of this book titled “5G and Beyond: Fundamentals and Standards” is to provide a comprehensive treatment of the 5G mobile communications systems as well the next-generation wireless access system (6G). In this introductory chapter, we describe the intended scope of this book. We first provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of mobile communications systems from 1G to 4G. We then explain what 5G is through discussing the main technical requirements behind 5G, the key 5G use cases, and the crucial ingredients in technology components that enable the advanced 5G capabilities. Next, we describe the 5G standardization process and key organizations that are essential for defining what 5G is. The following section provides a brief look into 6G. We close the chapter with outlining the contents of the remaining chapters of this book.
