Radio technologies have evidenced a rapid
and multidirectional evolution with the
launch of the analogue cellular systems in
1980s. Thereafter, digital wireless
communication systems are consistently on
a mission to fulfil the growing need of
human beings (1G, …4G, or now 5G).
So, this presentation describes the 5G
technology emphasizing on its salient
features, technological design
(architecture), advantages, shortcomings,
challenges, and future scope.

What is 5G
In general terms 5G is the new use cases (or refreshed old
ones) that can be carried over any suitable network.
– Radio access options: LTE, NR
– Core network options: EPC, NGCN
› NR: “5G New Radio” / “NR Radio Access” / “Next Generation Radio”
› NGCN: “Next Generation Core Network” a.k.a. “5GC”: 5G Core Network
9. 9
The use cases, and vision of the 5G system lead to diverse requirements
that the future mobile broadband system will need to meet. The future
may seem far ahead but the phase for defining the requirements is
already started.
The 5G unified ecosystem will serve both traditional as well as potential
new applications like drones, real time video surveillance, mobile
augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things and so on.5G will have
to cope with a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of:
•Services: mobile broadband, massive machine and mission critical
communications, broader multicast services and vehicular
communications.
•Device classes: low-end sensors to high-end tablets.
•Deployment types *[4]:macro and small cells.
•Environments: low-density to ultra-dense urban.
•Mobility levels:static to high-speed transport.

3GPP standardization
The standardization of 5G is ongoing in ITU (International
Telecommunication
Union) and 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project). For example, the
radio
section of ITU, ITU-R, defines requirements that 3GPP will try to fulfill with
its
specifications in the 38-series (Radio Technology beyond LTE).
In the figure below, interpretations of the arrows between ITU and 3GPP:
the ITU workshop 2017 creates Requirements
the 3GPP Study Item will create Concepts
the NR ph 2 will create Specifications
NGMN milestones are included as reference/proof that the ITU and 3GPP
activities are in line with the operator’s expectations/needs.
12. 12
The ITU requirements IMT2020 will most likely be fulfilled by 3GPP specifications and approved as IMT2020
specifications.

IMT Advanced to IMT 2020
ITU-R Recommendation
M.2083: 8 key capabilities
are identified, at high level,
for IMT-2020.
The potential target
requirements in this spider
chart are only targets for
research and investigation and
subject to further research.
14. 14
According to ITU-R,IMT-2020 is expected to provide a user experience
matching, as far as possible, fixed networks. The enhancement will be
realized by increased peak and user experienced data rate, enhanced
spectrum efficiency, reduced latency and enhanced mobility support. In
addition to the conventional human-to-human or human-to-machine
communication, IMT 2020 will realize the Internet of Things by
connecting a vast range of smart appliances, machines and other objects
without human intervention. IMT-2020 should be able to provide these
capabilities without undue burden on energy consumption, network
equipment cost and deployment cost to make future IMT sustainable
and affordable.
The key capabilities of IMT-2020 are shown in this spider chart,
compared with those of IMT-Advanced. These requirements figures are
targets for research and investigation for IMT-2020 and may be further
updated in other ITU-R Recommendations .

3GPP technical requirements in the TR 38.913:
Source: TR 38.913 on “Study Item on Scenarios and Requirements for Next Generation Access
17. 17
In December 2015,the 3GPP Study Item about Scenarios and
Requirements for Next Generation Access Technologies was
approved at the TSG RAN #70 meeting held in Spain.
The objective of the study item is to identify the typical
deployment scenarios associated with attributes such as
carrier frequency, inter-site distance, user density, maximum
mobility speed, etc., and to develop requirements for next
generation access technologies for the identified deployment
scenarios taking into account, but not limited to, the ITU-R
discussion on IMT-2020 requirements.
Some of these key physical layer related requirements are
show hereon this chart. The fundamental requirements for
5G system as defined in the 3GPP TR38.913 are detailed in
dedicated module.
