5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) denotes the next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards beyond the current 4G/IMT-Advanced standards. 5G is also referred to as beyond 2020 mobile communications technologies. 5G does not describe any particular specification in any official document published by any telecommunication standardization body.
Although updated standards that define capabilities beyond those defined in the current 4G standards are under consideration, those new capabilities are still being grouped under the current ITU-T 4G standards.
Background of 5G
A new mobile generation has appeared approximately every 10th year since the first 1G system, Nordic Mobile Telephone, was introduced in 1981. The first 2G system started to roll out in 1991, the first 3G system first appeared in 2001 and 4G systems fully compliant with IMT Advanced were standardized in 2012. The development of the 2G (GSM) and 3G (IMT-2000 and UMTS) standards took about 10 years from the official start of the R&D projects, and development of 4G systems started in 2001 or 2002. Predecessor technologies have occurred on the market a few years before the new mobile generation, for example, the pre-3G system CdmaOne/IS95 in the US in 1995, and the pre-4G systems Mobile WiMAX in South-Korea 2006, and first release-LTE in Scandinavia 2009.
Mobile generations typically refer to non-backward-compatible cellular standards following requirements stated by ITU-R, such as IMT-2000 for 3G and IMT-Advanced for 4G. In parallel with the development of the ITU-R mobile generations, IEEE and other standardization bodies also develop wireless communication technologies, often for higher data rates and higher frequencies but shorter transmission ranges. The first gigabit IEEE standard was IEEE 802.11ac, commercially available since 2013, soon to be followed by the multi-gigabit standard WiGig or IEEE 802.11ad.
History
In 2008, the South Korean IT R&D program of 5G mobile communication systems based on beam-division multiple access and relays with group cooperation was formed.
On 8 October 2012, the UK University of Surrey secured 35M for new 5G research centre, joint funded between the British government UK Research Partnership Investment Fund (UKRPIF) and a consortium of key international mobile operators and infrastructure providers -including Huawei, Samsung, Telefonica Europe, Fujitsu Laboratories Europe, Rohde & Schwarz, and Aircom International it will offer testing facilities to mobile operators keen to develop a mobile standard that uses less energy and radio spectrum whilst delivering faster than current 4G speeds, with aspirations for the new technology to be ready within a decade.
In February 2013, ITU-R Working Party 5D (WP 5D) started two study items:
1. Study on IMT Vision for 2020 and beyond
2. Study on future technology trends for terrestrial IMT systems.
Both aiming at having a better understanding of future technical aspects of mobile communications towards the definition of the next generation mobile.
On 12 May 2013, Samsung Electronics stated that they have developed the world first 5G system.
In July 2013, India and Israel have agreed to work jointly on the development of the fifth generation (5G) telecom technologies.
On 1 October 2013, NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), the same company to launch world first 5G network in Japan, wins Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Award at CEATEC for 5G R&D efforts.
On 6 November 2013, Huawei announced plans to invest a minimum of $600 million into R&D for next-generation 5G networks capable of speeds 100 times faster than modern LTE networks.
On 8 May 2014, NTT DoCoMo start testing 5G mobile networks with Alcatel Lucent, Ericsson, Fujitsu, NEC, Nokia and Samsung.
At the end of September 2014, Dresden university inaugurates a 5G laboratory in partnership with Vodafone.
