Abstract
As the Big Data is developing, the mm Wave
communication which provides a data rate in
the range of Gbps (Giga bit per second) is
very useful today.
Billions of user’s devices can be successfully
connected to one another securely using mm
Wave communication system.

Introduction
The research is going on in the field of 5G
mm Wave ( millimetre wave ) communication
system.
At this stage, all the user’s devices will have
to be connected by using the concept of Big-
Data and IoT ( Internet of Things ).
The system is capable of providing a very
high speed data connection (with low latency
value) and speed in the range of Gigabit for
billions of users.

To drive a car using AR ( Augmented Reality )
Navigation to watch sports related
programmes using VR ( Virtual reality ),
wearable devices, mobile devices with
flexibility, interactive games in real time,
smart maps and smart navigation, ultra high
definition ( UHD ) video stream, good health
care, mobile cloud etc
Real life applications

Project ( China ), Giga KOREA project, 5GIC (
5G Innovation Centre ) – UK , 5G Forum
( Korea ), 5G PPP projects of Horizon 2020
( Europe ), Future IMT ( 5G ) ( ITU – R
WP5D).

Antennas
 In the 5G systems, the millimetre wave
antenna arrays can be of great help .
It is due to the high data rate supported by
them. Millimeter Wave Identifiers ( MMID )
can also be used as they show higher data
rate and have small sized directive
antennas .
