Internet of things
5G technology achieves its expected high efficiency using advanced modulation techniques and network terminologies like:
1. Carrier Aggregation

2. Millimeter Waves
Millimeter waves are one of the efficient solutions to solve data rate. It has higher bandwidth to simultaneously transmit and receive data from base station and UE (handset). Future 5G deployments will make use of 5G-NR spectrum capable of gigabit/second data transfer.

Adaptive Bandwidth
5G technology allows handsets to automatically switch to faster internet only when it is necessary and keeps lower data activities while not using any applications. This method preserves battery life significantly.
For example: checking email does not require higher bandwidth.
4.MIMO Concept

MIMO is a transmission technology with the usage of multiple antennas for transmission and reception. Simultaneous data transfer is possible using this technology thus offering an efficient data rate. The more the number of antennas, the more transmission and reception can be done.

5. Wi-Fi offloading

C-RAN is a network technology used for effective communication with centralized information processing carried out remotely within the cloud system. The signal will be processed at a remote location and the base stations will be connected with the most efficient fiber-optic connections. It gives a lot of advantages in system implementation, and maintenance and is highly efficient.

Very useful thread of information.
Interesting…
Thanks Shahid!
“GSM and CDMA network has been implemented in the late nineteenth century” xDD
Thanks Bogdan, it was twentieth century. GSM came into existence in 1991 in Finland, i think few years later CDMA

“Yes, GSM came into existence in 1991 in Finland, i think few years later CDMA”
1801-1900 is the 19th century
1901-2000 is the 20th century
Thanks Terah. You are right. Thanks for highlighting, corrected.
Good work on the summary.
Thanks for the comment!
Very very good article
LTE is OFDMA as a 4G same as 5G. but all these three orthogonal angle is between 90 degree you can send/receive video, audio and data simultaneously.even you can dedicate these to camera,mic,and wifi for data
