Introduction:
The report has analysed how technology has evolved from the first generation or the 1G to
the latest technology that is the 5G that is tending in the telecommunication industry. A
detailed analysis has been provided in this context describing the comparison between these
technologies that include comparison in terms of bandwidth considered for communication,
network speed, and technique for access to the medium, technique for modulation, and
security issues and security mechanism. Along with this, the report has also described an
architecture for 5G technology. The report has also analysed some of the important security
issues of 5G technology and techniques for ensuring data security are also described in this
context as well. The report in addition to the security issues has also described the limitation
of 5G technology especially the issue of network coverage and strategies for improving
network coverage are discussed in details in this report as well. Therefore this report provides
a comprehensive overview of 5G technology and issues of 5G technology in details.
Motivation:
When 4G technology was first launched, it completely redefined the mobile communication
technology. It was quite advanced compared to previous technologies including 3G
technology [1]. However, 5G is quite different from all of these technologies and it is not
about mobile data speed, 5G is intended to provide required infrastructure required for
implanting various smart and advanced applications which include IoT, driverless car,
wireless home automation, cloud computing and other advanced applications as well and
therefore, it is one of the most important research topics right now in the telecom industry [8].

Discussion:
Comparison of cellular networks:
In this context different cellular networks generations (5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G) are analysed in
terms of:
a. Spectrum allocated for Communication
b. Techniques required for modulation
c. Mechanism through which access to medium is executed
d. speed provided by the network and requirement of bandwidth
e. Security techniques and risk
Topics for comparison Technology Description
Spectrum allocated for
Communication [1]
1G Spectrum requirement for
1G technology is:
Frequency: 150MHz /
900MHz
2G Spectrum requirement for
2G technology is:
