Abstract

The fifth generation of telecommunication systems is a familiar name in recent years. Many countries around the world have chosen this generation as the basic generation in telecommunications. In this paper, we will first have an overview of the history of the formation of different generations of systems. Then we will review the features, architecture and challenges and solutions to the challenges in fifth generation telecommunication systems. With all the powerful features that the fifth generation has, the future 5G networks must have important factors such as more bandwidth, use of smart antennas, small cells, virtualization reality, virtual software, etc. to be able to provide data rates for devices connected to the network and provide better services to their users. Studying fifth-generation telecommunications systems to address existing challenges is now the field of much research.
