5G… Future Technology

It's me Mrunal Awade from SE

Nowadays, product development skills in engineering students can be enhanced by using Project Based Learning (PBL) in curriculum.PBL is a technique which motivates the student to study the concepts in detail which may or not be given in curriculum.

PBL helps the students to understand the concept more practically. Vishwaniketan works on a same principle of Project Based Learning (PBL). So, college always try to find out new techniques for students which helps to enhance more knowledge about PBL and Value Addition Program (VAP) is one of them.ViMEET arranges VAP for every single academic year which contains a learning session of various new technologies according to requirements of academics and interests of student.

College appoints expert who are expertise in that specific technology. In this difficult pandemic situation it was not possible for college to take VAP physically, but college find out an alternative option for that as ‘Online VAP Sessions’. This year’s VAP was special because it was under abroad university and college managed it all with the help of SCYRAP.

College gave us a list of four technologies which are included for VAP. C Programming, Python, Kotlin and 5G technology these were included in that list. I chose 5G technology for my VAP. There was a grand online inauguration ceremony forthis VAP and all experts were present from abroad along with college faculties.

Mr Patrik and Mr Adam gave detail information about all the course that how exactly it will go. They provided us a bunch of recorded videos which covered all the concepts of 5G technology from basics to advanced concepts. To check the exact grasping of students they included some quizzes. Students were divided into a group of three for project work. Mentor were assigned to solve all the queries of students. Students from other colleges were also allowed to participate in this. Doubt solving sessions and review sessions were arranged whenever there was the necessity of that. So, here is some information which will brief you about 5G technology.

As we are very familiar with 2G,3G and 4G it is not very difficult to understand what is 5G? It is the innovation of one more “G” in a technical world.5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices.

5G wireless technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users. Higher performance and improved efficiency empower new user experiences and connects new industries.

5G is based on OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing), a method of modulating a digital signal across several channels to reduce interference. 5G uses 5G NR air interface alongside OFDM principles. 5G also uses wider bandwidth technologies such as sub-6 GHz and mmWave. Like 4G LTE, 5G OFDM operates based on the same mobile networking principles. However, the new 5G NR air interface can further enhance OFDM to deliver a much higher degree of flexibility and scalability.

This could provide more 5G access to more people and things for a variety of different use cases.5G will bring wider bandwidths by expanding the usage of spectrum resources, from sub-3 GHz used in 4G to 100 GHz and beyond. 5G can operate in both lower bands (e.g., sub-6 GHz) and mmWave (e.g., 24 GHz and up), which will bring extreme capacity, multi-Gbps throughput, and low latency.

5G is designed to not only deliver faster, better mobile broadband services compared to 4G LTE, but can also expand into new service areas such as mission-critical communications and connecting the massive IoT. This is enabled by many new 5G NR air interface design techniques, such as a new self-contained TDD subframe design.

5G speed tops out at 10 gigabits per second (Gbps).5G is 10 to ×100 faster than what you can get with 4G. According to communication principles, the shorter the frequency, the larger the bandwidth. The use of shorter frequencies(millimeter waves between 30GHz and 300GHz) for 5G network is why 5G can be faster. This high band 5G spectrum provides the expected boost not only in speed but also in capacity, low latency and quality. However,5G download speed may differ widely by area. That’s 10 to 50 times more than 4G LTE. By 2021 there will be up to 438 million 5G connections. Connectivity has evolved from providing access to the internet to powering complex infrastructures.5G up to 100 times faster than 4G.

With 5G reaching 10vgigabits per second up to 100 times faster than 4G.5G networks can deliver the level of performance needed for an increasingly connected society.

Broadly speaking, 5G is used across three main types of connected services, including enhanced mobile broadband, mission-critical communications, and the massive IoT. A defining capability of 5G is that it is designed for forward compatibility — the ability to flexibly support future services that are unknown today.

Enhanced mobile broadband .

In addition to making our smartphones better, 5G mobile technology can usher in new immersive experiences such as VR and AR with faster, more uniform data rates, lower latency, and lower cost-per-bit.

Mission-critical communications
5G can enable new services that can transform industries with ultra-reliable, available, low-latency links like remote control of critical infrastructure, vehicles, and medical procedures.

Massive IoT
5G is meant to seamlessly connect a massive number of embedded sensors in virtually everything through the ability to scale down in data rates, power, and mobility — providing extremely lean and low-cost connectivity solutions.

Smart cities could use 5G in a variety of ways to transform the lives of people living in them — primarily providing greater efficiencies like more connectivity between people and things, higher data speeds, and lower latency than ever before in areas like automotive safety, infrastructure, VR, and entertainment.

Many foreign countries started using 5G networks from a very long time and now working on next generation. Now it's the turn of our country to innovate new technologies for use and keep the whole world connected with the help of that.
