PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Title
The title of the project is to implement 5th Generation Wireless Network.
2. Rationale
2.1 Problem domain
The 4th generation wireless network is mainly utilized presently for sending as well as
for receiving data at a high speed. The 4th generation network is quite helpful in growing
coverage as well as assists in making fast connection by reducing the latency. In spite of the
advantages, it is found that the technological infrastructure requires further enhancement of
data through its present network for supporting lot of users and services that are generally
accessible from the network of the mobile. In order to resolve the issues, it is quite necessary
to develop the 5th generation wireless network.
2.2 Purpose and justification
It is found that the implementation of 5th Generation wireless network not only helps
in reducing the challenges that generally can be faced due to the utilization of 4th Generation
Wireless network. With the implementation of 5th Generation Wireless Network, the
organization will be able get services with increased bandwidth as well as faster speed. In
addition to this, 5th generation wireless networks are considered to be very much effective as
well as efficient and it also assists in providing the facility of subscriber supervision tool for
getting fast and quick action.
3. Sponsor or Supervisor recommendation
It is recommended by the Sponsor as well as the supervisor to finish the project of
developing the 5th Generation Wireless Network within the budget that is approved by the
project sponsor. The sponsor as well as the supervisor recommends to utilize the resources of

the project effectively with the intention of the money which is required for implementing
each of the project activities can be accomplished within the budget which is accepted before
the initiation phase of the project.
4. Research Questions
The questions for the research are as follows:
 What are the benefits of implementing the 5th Generation Wireless Network?
 What are the challenges that are generally faced during the implementation of
wireless network?
 Why 5th generation Wireless Network are implemented?
5. Conceptual or Theoretical Framework
According to Ma et al. (2015), Fifth generation wireless network is defined as one of
the wireless networking architecture that is mainly enabled for proper data communication
rate between WLAN and local area networks which generally can each up to the speed of 1.5
GBps (Chen et al., 2015). It is found that the fifth-generation technology generally helps in
offering wide number of features which are very much advantageous for the group of people
including professionals, students and even for a common public. It is found that there are
number of advantages of fifth generation wireless network due to which it will be used. The
advantages are listed below:
Increased Bandwidth: It is found that if the bandwidth is provided is less then the
speed of the device will be slower thus the bandwidth plays a great role in the speed of the
network. It is found that one of the main advantages of the fifth-generation technology is that
there is much more bandwidth (Hu & Qian, 2014). It is found that with the help of the 5G
network, the people will not face the difficulty due to speed. With much more bandwidth

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
available, the people will generally be able utilize this bandwidth making it very much
versatile than before.
Faster Speed: It is found that with the help of 5th generation Wireless network,
people will be able to browse the web, can be able to download files as well as can stream
videos at a very much blistering speed (Thompson et al., 2015). Alternatively, the people who
are using 3G and 4G network can face struggle in downloading as well as watching videos. It
is identified that due to increase in bandwidth, the people will generally be able to run smart
devices at a very much fast speed as compared with 4G network.
Presence of new technology options: It is stated by Liang, Yu and Zhang (2015)
that proper research on 5G technology generally indicates that various smart devices
generally operates on the 5Gnetwork that helps in operating at the speed that are thousand
times faster than the speed that is offered by the 4G network. It is found that with the
development of number of smart devices, the tasks that are generally needed to be performed
on laptop as well as desktop computer would generally be performed on mobile devices. Due
to the increase in the network speed, it is found that number of tasks are generally
transitioned to the world of smart devices from the world of computers.
6. Methodology
6.1 Research and Systems Implementation method(s)
Rapid application design is mainly utilized as a system implementation method for the
implementation of Fifth generation wireless network. It is found that rapid application design
is mainly utilized it generally assist in providing number of advanced tools, rebuilt,
programming as well as object-oriented technologies (Joslin & Muller,2015). The main key
of utilizing this system development method is to target number of steps that can be properly
overlapped as well as can be performed with the help of multiple teams. It is considered to be

5
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
quite successful as it helps in producing number of applications. In addition to this, it is
mainly utilized in this project as the entire requirement as well as needs of the project are
quite clear.
6.2 Data collection or systems design methods
It is identified that both secondary as well as primary data collection method is used
for gathering information about 5th generation network. In context to the secondary data
collection procedure, it is originating that the number of articles as well as journals are
generally studied with the purpose of collect information that are related with 5th generation
wireless network (Rinderknecht et al., 2017). On the other hand, it is found that number of
project managers as well as experienced network engineers are interviewed in order to
analyze the steps that are necessary for the implementation of 5th generation Wireless
network.
It is found that during the implementation of 5th Generation wireless network, it is
very much necessary to utilized detailed system design as it mainly uses the architectural
model. It is found that this system design method helps in providing overview about each of
the implementation phases so that all the activities that are associated with the
implementation of 5G network can be positively implemented (Yang et al., 2014).
6.3 Ethical Issues
The ethical issues that are generally faced during undertaking the project are listed below:
 Number of security related issues and challenges can occur
 The workers are forced to work more than their shift time
 The information that is collected is from outdated journals and articles

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
6.4 Compliance Requirements
It is reasonably essential to utilize appropriate safety and health regulations within
the work environment for the safety of the staffs. It is found that the development of health
and safety regulations are needed in order to avoid accidents as well as injuries.
6.5 Analysis of data
It is analyzed that the development of the fifth-generation wireless network is quite
helpful is reducing the problems which are associated with 4G wireless network. It is found
that the speed of 5G wireless network gets increased by thousand times that the speed which
is mainly delivered by the fourth-generation network. Due to the increased in bandwidth and
speed, the users will not face any type of issues and challenges that are mainly associated
with the speed and they can be able to download and watch videos online quite easily.
7. Project Plan
7.1 Deliverables
It can be concluded after analysing the entire paper that implementation of fifth
generation wireless network is quite beneficial for the users as it not only helps in enhancing
the bandwidth but also the speed. It is found that the speed that is provided by 5G network
helps the users to easily download videos without facing the problem of buffering that mainly
occurs while 4G network is used. In spite of the advantages there are number of problems
that are associated with 5G network and in order to resole those challenges it is necessary to
follow some of the recommendations that are provided below:
 It is necessary to develop application quality assurance framework which only allows
trusted applications
 It is necessary to perform proper integrity checks on application for upgradation
