5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems, abbreviated 5G, are the next proposed telecommunications standards beyond the current 4G / IMT-Advanced standards. The 5G planning aims at higher capacity than the current 4G, allowing a higher density of mobile broadband users, and support from device to device, ultra reliable and massive communications machine.
5G research and development also aims at lower 4G computer latency and lower battery consumption, for better Internet application of things.
Currently there is no standard for 5G implementations.
The Next Generation Mobile Network Alliance defines the following requirements that a 5G standard must meet:
• Data rates of tens of megabits per second for tens of thousands of users
• Data rates of 100 megabits per second for metropolitan areas
• 1 Gb per second simultaneously for many workers on the same floor of the office
• Several hundred thousand simultaneous connections for wireless sensors
• Spectral efficiency improved significantly compared to 4G
• Improved coverage
• Improved signaling efficiency
• Reduced latency significantly compared to LTE.
In addition to providing simply faster speeds, they predict that 5G networks will also have to satisfy new use cases, such as Internet of Things (Internet-connected devices), as well as lifelong communication and transmission services in times of natural disaster. Chip makers, OEMs and OSATs, such as Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) and Amkor Technology, Inc., have been preparing for this next-generation (5G) wireless standard, as mobile systems and base stations will require processors new and faster applications, baseband and RF devices.
Although updated standards defining capabilities beyond those defined in the current 4G standards are being considered, these new capabilities have been grouped under the current ITU-T 4G standards. The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the spectrum for the 5G, including the 28 Gigahertz, 37 GHz and 39 GHz bands, on July 14, 2016.
