A fifth generation mobile network is known as 5G. Following 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, it is a new international wireless standard. In order to connect practically everyone and everything together, including machines, objects, and gadgets, 5G enables a new type of network.
The goal of 5G wireless technology is to provide more users with faster multi-Gbps peak data rates, extremely low latency, enhanced reliability, vast network capacity, and a more consistent user experience. New user experiences are enabled by increased performance and efficiency, which also connects new industries.
Who created 5G?
A number of businesses across the mobile ecosystem are helping to bring 5G to life, but neither one corporation nor individual owns it. The numerous fundamental technologies that underpin 5G, the upcoming wireless standard, and propel the industry forward were developed in large part by Qualcomm.
We are the core of the 3GPP, the industry group that establishes the international standards for 3G UMTS (including HSPA), 4G LTE, and 5G technologies.
From the air interface to the service layer, 3GPP is responsible for numerous crucial innovations in 5G design. Other 3GPP 5G participants include mobile network operators, component/device makers, infrastructure vendors, and vertical service providers.
What fundamental technology underlie 5G?
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, or OFDM, is the foundation of 5G. It is a technique for modulating a digital transmission across a number of channels to lessen interference. 5G employs the 5G NR air interface in addition to OFDM concepts. Wider bandwidth technologies like mmWave and sub-6 GHz are also used by 5G.
5G OFDM functions using the same mobile networking concepts as 4G LTE. The new 5G NR air interface, however, has the potential to improve ONFD to give a significantly better level of flexibility and scalability. This may increase the number of people and things who have access to 5G for a range of use cases.
By increasing the use of spectrum resources from the sub-3 GHz employed in 4G to 100 GHz and beyond, 5G will enable greater bandwidths. 5G can operate in both mmWave (e.g., 24 GHz and above) and lower bands (e.g., sub-6 GHz), bringing extremely high capacity, multi-Gbps throughput, and very low latency.
In addition to providing faster and better mobile broadband services than 4G LTE, 5G is intended to open up new service opportunities including mission-critical communications and linking the vast IoT. Many novel 5G NR air interface design strategies, such as a new self-contained TDD subframe design, make this possible.
What distinguishes the fifth generation of mobile networks from the preceding generations?
The 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile network generations are the most recent.
First generation, or 1G, provided analogue voice in the 1980s.
2G, or second generation
Early 1990s: Digital voice (such CDMA-Code Division Multiple Access) was introduced by 2G.
referred to as 3G.
Early 2000s: CDMA2000 and 3G brought mobile data.
4G LTE, or fourth generation
In the 2010s, 4G LTE helped to bring in the mobile broadband age.
The predecessors to 5G, which is intended to offer greater connectivity than has ever been possible, were 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G.
A more efficient and unified air interface is 5G. It has been built with a larger capacity to support new deployment patterns, empower next-generation user experiences, and deliver new services.
