5G Technology Review
A review paper on 5G: how the network is built, from the core network to the radio access network, the technologies behind it, and where it is used, such as IoT, smart cities, self-driving cars and telemedicine.
It also looks at what is still unsolved: mmWave range limits, the energy cost of dense networks, compatibility with older systems and uneven global standards. It compares AI/ML approaches for networks that manage themselves and ends with open research questions.
