Introduction and motivation
 Radio technology have evidenced a rapid and multidirectional evolution with the launch
of the analogue cellular system in 1980s. Then, digital wireless communication system
are consistently on a mission to fulfil the growing need of human beings (1G, 2G, 3G, 4G
and now 5G).
 5th generation mobile network or simply 5G is the forthcoming revolution of mobile
technology. The features and its usability are much beyond the expectation of normal
human being. With its ultra-high speed, it is potential enough to change the meaning of
the a cell phone usability
 5G networks are cellular network, in which the service area is divided into small
geographical areas called cells. All 5G wireless devices in a cell are connected to the
internet and telephone network by radio wave through a local antenna in the cell. The
main advantage of the new networks is that they will have greater bandwidth, giving
higher download speed, eventually up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbit/s).
 Due to the increased bandwidth, it is expected the networks will increasingly be used as
general internet service providers, laptops and desktop computers, competing with
existing ISPs such as cable internet, and will make possible new applications in internet
of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine areas. 4G cellphones are not able to use the new
networks, which require 5G enabled wireless devices.
Definition
 5G is the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular network, which
cellular phone companies deploying worldwide in 2019, and is the planned successor to
the 4G networks which provide connectivity to most current cell phones. 5G networks are
predicted to have more than 1.7 billion subscribers worldwide by 2025, according to the
GSN association.
 5G has been designed to meet the very large growth in data and connectivity of today’s
modern society, the internet of things with billions of connected devices, and tomorrow’s
innovations. 5G will initially operate in conjunction with existing 4G networks before
evolving to fully standalone networks in subsequent releases and coverage expansions

 In addition to delivering faster connections and greater capacity, a very important
advantage of 5G is the fast response time referred to as latency. Latency is the time taken
for devices to respond to each other over the wireless network. 3G networks had a typical
response time of 100 milliseconds, 4G is around 30 milliseconds and 5G will be as low as
one millisecond.
 5G will enable instantaneous connectivity to billions of devices, the Internet of Things
(IOT) and a truly connected world. 5G will provide the speed, low latency and
connectivity to enable a new generation of applications, services and business
opportunities that have not been seen before. There are three major categories of use case
for 5G:

4. 5G for the Automotive Domain
 Fifth generation (5G) technology is expected to be a game changer for the automotive
industry. The possibility for vehicles to be connected to other vehicles, pedestrians,
7

roadside infrastructure, or application servers enables the development of multiple
revolutionary services.
5. Big Data Analytics in 5G
 Data Analytics is at the sweet-spot taking full advantage of 5G network characteristics
such as high-bandwidth, low-latency and mobile edge computing (MEC).
6. OSS/BSS Impact with 5G Applications and Services
 Operation Support Systems /Business Support Systems are the heart of the telecom
operations and will be heavily impacted with 5G-based application and services. This
article will discuss the impacts and key technological requirements in OSS/BSS of the
telecom operators for enabling smooth integration of 5G-based applications and services.
7. Power Electronics
 The 5G network is rife with opportunity for reducing power utilization in applications
that have a significant impact on the global power footprint.
Advantage of 5G technology
 The first and the most important advantage of these technology is it gives improved and
better access to high bandwidth users because Better speed certainly sums up things great
at first; less number of dropped connections, smoother transmission, and stable
connections are the possible benefits of 5G network. Some advantages of 5G network are
listed below.
1. Improved Bandwidth
 With better bandwidth of 5g network, users will be able to consume voice and data
services smoothly. Means, when bandwidth swill increase, users will have more space
available to stream and download data without any hassles. Therefore, with the launch of
5G technology, the problem would be history.
2. Tremendous Speeds
8

 Impeccable transmission speed is probably one of the greatest advantages of 5G network.
A 5G tower installed in your vicinity will let you access internet services at a much faster
rate, and you can download HD programs within minutes. People have to struggle with
3G and 4G speeds. Access to high definition content will be much easier because of the
increased speed, as the 5G bandwidth will have the least network congestions.
3. Less tower obstruction
 Tower obstructions is the most common problem with current 4G LTE technology. Many
users have to rely on tower signals that tend to get jammed hence affecting the influence
capacity. However, on the 5G network, this will no longer be an issue as there will be no
tower conflicts. This means 5G Network benefits users with more bandwidth capacity as
they can access internet-based services without any obstructions.
4. Connect PCs with handsets
 An advanced fifth-generation network will be much better than dedicated internet access
points, and users can save their money on extra bills. Users can use their cell phones as
internet access points and simultaneously use the 5G bandwidth for multiple devices.
5. Technological Advancements
 The Internet of Things (IoT) will be at your fingertips from the health to finance sectors.
More technological advancements will open doors for more smart device inventions
based on VR and Artificial intelligence that were not available in the past.
Disadvantage
 It’s obvious that two moving two steps ahead certainly pushes the world a step back in
different ways. These disadvantages of 5G network are more likely to affect consumers in
the coming times.
1. In Healthcare
 There is a range of debates about alleged health risks due to 5G's higher radio frequencies
(RF). Network carriers continue to spray the bright side of the 5G network. Still,
9

according to a recent National Toxicology Program study, high levels of cell phone
radiation on male rats came up with 6% increased carcinogenic activity.
2. Additional Cost
 Think of establishing new 5G-network equipment, infrastructure improvements, and
maintenance costs to be incurred by telecom companies. All these expenses would
somehow ultimately add up the cost for consumers. Better services mean users will have
to spend much more to avail high-end 5G technology.
3. Broadcast Distance
 The 5G network is speculated to be effective in the populated areas only. Another
disadvantage of 5G network is that the frequency waves can only transfer to a short
distance. For example, Wi-Fi does not travel as far as 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and 5G cellular
will not be able to travel as far from the tower.
 In addition, the millimeter 5G waves will only transfer linearly with the capability to see
the tower. This ultimately sums up that more buildings, trees, walls, and other
obstructions will block or disturb the high-frequency signal. Abnormal weather
conditions are also another nightmare for 5G technology.
4. Battery drain and device overheating
 5G network disadvantages include toiling down the user’s mobile battery. Phone
manufacturers have to figure out a superior battery technology to cope with the drainage
issues surfacing due to high-frequency consumption.
 When cellular phone looks for a new access point or the device network antenna
consumes more battery than usual. Users are also expected to face device-overheating
issues after running their phones on 5G connections overtime.
5. Upload speeds will consume more data
 Data transmits through a dual-channel while users search for something on the internet.
Current technology offers download speeds as high as 1.9 Gbps with a maximum upload
10

speed of 100mbps. Given that, 5G network speed is blistering and is costlier than the
previous ones; data transmission will also be more during a small internet transaction.
6. Coverage issues in Rural Areas
 As of now, 5G network is a dream come true for the urban areas. As per the speculations,
carriers will deploy 5G towers in densely populated areas to provide impeccable data and
voice services. In contrast, those dwelling in the rural areas will not likely have the
benefits of 5G Network. At present, numerous remote areas lack access to any form of
cellular connectivity whatsoever.
 Ultimately, there are both Advantages and Disadvantages of 5G Network for users and
telecom companies. Both rural and urban residents would have their concerns over cost
and availability, respectively. Meanwhile, technology companies are making their efforts
to overcome the expected disadvantages of 5G network. Hopefully, there is going to be a
way out of it too.
Conclusion
 5G technology promises to be revolutionary. It provides better services especially for
high bandwidth users because it provides larger bandwidth, low latency times,
technological advancement and development of new services and improvement of
existing ones. So a discussion about 5G technology is discussion about delivering life
changing technologies through next generation network.
 In a 5G powered tomorrow, entire supply chains can be fundamentally reshaped. With its
gigabyte speed and unprecedented response times 5G ultra wideband can be thought of as
the “secret sauce” that can make connected cars, cloud connected traffic control and other
application that depends on essentially instantaneous response and data analysis live up to
their potential. From healthcare to emergency response to smart energy solution to next
level gaming, the possibilities are virtually limitless. Finally, I highly recommend using
this technology.
