Abstract

This chapter will discuss the current 5G deployment situations and how 5G will evolve as we move into the future. It is now clear that although the eMBB service remains a significant segment of the commercial wireless market, the capabilities of 5G allow it to move beyond the eMBB service and support vertical industries will be the engine of growth for the industry. This convergence of human-to-human communication with human-to-machine and machine-to-machine communications will be a key enabler of the fourth industrial revolution. The key to success will be a globally unified 5G standards and ecosystem to support the needs of the different verticals. Early field trials with different verticals will be elucidated. This chapter and the book will conclude with a look forward to possible 5G developments.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is not meant as a comprehensive list of what was studied but rather a sampling of some of the major areas of investigation.

  2. 2.

    These receiver schemes are given the non-descriptive name “Class A” and “Class B” receivers. The nomenclature is only to separate the information provided to the network and has nothing to do with amplifier classes.

  3. 3.

    The standards leave the exact positioning algorithm to implementation and that algorithm must be implemented with some care to achieve good results.

  4. 4.

    Isolated in the sense that the interference from other radios happen only sporadically.
