Solutions for Design and Evaluation of 5G Candidate Waveforms
Application Notes
Even while fourth generation (4G) cellular systems—LTE and LTE-Advanced—are in the midst of deployment, the move to fifth generation (5G) systems has already begun with a vision of “everything everywhere and always connected.” A key advantage of 5G over 4G will be its ability to offer super-fast (on the order of 10 Gbps), consistent and high-quality connectivity with very low latency (a few milliseconds at most) in support of new use cases and the billions of sensors that make up the Internet of Things (IoT). Just as critically, 5G networks are expected to feature significantly enhanced spectral efficiency and improved coverage.
