The document discusses various technologies being considered for 5G networks, including beam division multiple access (BDMA), cognitive radio, software defined radio, supporting IPv6 and flat IP networks, multihoming, pervasive networks, group cooperative relay techniques, mobile cloud computing, high altitude stratospheric platforms, and reducing power consumption. 5G is expected to be rolled out around 2020 and provide significantly higher data speeds and capacities compared to 4G, while supporting a variety of wireless access technologies and seamless handovers between them.
