Why Do We Need 5G In India?

? The continuing growth in demand for better mobile broadband experiences is inspiring the industry to look ahead at how networks can be leveraged to meet future extreme capacity and performance demands.

? Future wireless access will extend beyond people, supporting connectivity for any element that may benefit from being connected.

? One of the key motivators for 5G is to provide ubiquitous, high-speed, high-quality wireless broadband coverage to meet societal and industrial needs beyond 2020.

? The real challenge is to enable a host of different platforms able to work together as a seamless whole, largely software-controlled and flexible enough to support any usage pattern.

? More unified and standardized fixed access solutions would allow much higher volumes, and thereby higher integration densities, much lower cost, and reduced energy consumption.

? Because of 5G there are so many changes are going to happen in many sectors such as health-center, automotive vehicles, military, etc. They have become more reliable and efficient.

Development Of 5G

? May 12, 2013, South Korean technology giant Samsung claimed it has made breakthroughs in the development of next-generation networking technology and was able to transmit data at a speed of 1Gbps through the 28 gigahertz (GHz) band.

? 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.

? Mavenir Friday said it has teamed up with Thailand’s National Telecom Public Company ?Limited (NT), 5GCT, a local partner specializing in delivering end-to-end 5G smart cities, and ?Cisco Systems (Thailand) to launch the first 5G Open RAN smart city in Ban Chang, Thailand, ?on a millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) the private network.

? Apple's purchase of Intel's 5G smartphone modem business in 2019 may start to pay dividends by ?2023, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in a report from MacRumors. Apple's first iPhones using its own custom-designed 5G chips will appear in 2023 "at the earliest," he wrote.

? China's tech giant Baidu is expanding its Apollo autonomous driving platform by adding vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications technology in which autonomous vehicles communicate with roadside sensors using ultra-fast 5G cellular networks.

? 5G is architected to run on radio frequencies ranging from sub 1 GHz to extremely high ?frequencies, called “millimeter wave” (or mmWave). The lower the frequency, the farther the ?signal can travel.

? New antennas will incorporate technology known as massive MIMO (multiple input, ?multiple output), which enables multiple transmitters and receivers to transfer more data at ?the same time.

There are three frequency bands at the core of 5G networks:

? 5G high-band (mmWave) delivers the highest frequencies of 5G. These range from 24 GHz to ?approximately 100 GHz. Because high frequencies cannot easily move through obstacles, high- ?band 5G is short range by nature. Moreover, mmWave coverage is limited and requires more ?cellular infrastructure.

? 5G mid-band operates in the 2-6 GHz range and provides a capacity layer for urban and suburban ?areas. This frequency band has peak rates in the hundreds of Mbps.

??5G low-band operates below 2 GHz and provides a broad coverage. This band uses spectrum ?that is available and in use today for 4G LTE, essentially providing an LTE 5g architecture for 5G ?devices that are ready now. Performance of low-band 5G is therefore similar to 4G LTE, and ?supports use for 5G devices on the market today.

Here's how it works:

? The Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) acts as a single-entry point for the UE connection.

??Based on the service requested by the UE, the AMF selects the respective Session Management Function ?(SMF) for managing the user session.

? The User Plane Function (UPF) transports the IP data traffic (user plane) between the User Equipment (UE) ?and the external networks.

??The Authentication Server Function (AUSF) allows the AMF to authenticate the UE and access services of ?the 5G core.

??Other functions like the Session Management Function (SMF), the Policy Control Function (PCF), the ?Application Function (AF) and the Unified Data Management (UDM) function provide the policy control ?framework, applying policy decisions and accessing subscription information, to govern the network ?behavior.

IoT:

As 5G provides unbeatable speeds and ?low-latency connectivity in every ?household, the smart devices could be ?easily replaced with dumb terminals.

Small Cell Infrastructure:

5G uses a smaller transmitter because they ?consume less energy and power. Need to ?have more of them so they can be integrated ?better with the landscape.

Autonomous Vehicles:

In the years to come, your vehicle would have the ?potential to give a performance information and also ?provide information to automakers and drivers about road ?conditions, security and more.

To Wrap Up:

Once 5G is fully operational, there will no need for any kind of cable or wire to deliver entertainment or ?communications service to your mobile device.

Improved Health Care:

Dramatic improvement in precision surgery, telemedicine, ?remote surgery, and even physical therapy via AR in the years to ?come.Dramatic improvement in precision surgery, telemedicine, ?remote surgery, and even physical therapy via AR in the years to ?come.

Military:

5G for the military could additionally improve intelligence, ?surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems and processing; ?enable new methods of command and control (C2); and ?streamline logistics systems for increased efficiency, among ?other uses.
