We don't know yet (as of Nov 2015) what would be the target latency. But critical technological issue is that achieving the extremely low data rate with extremly low cost and extremely low energy (battery) consumption. Just achieving the extermly low throughput has no technical problem. But I think it will be targeted to be at least around 10 Gbps. The only problem is that thoseįollowings are some of my personsl keywords about the 5G reading through most of these papers.īy far, we don't know yet (as of Nov 2015) what would be the maximum throughput. I think METIS documents are by far the most extensive and most in-depth. Personally, I would recommend you to read through the documents from METIS. If you read through all of these whitepapers, you would notice that the key concepts they claim in the documents are almost same. (The final goal of 4G data rate is 1 Ghz and we still have a long way to go to achieve this 1Gb rate).īy now (as of Nov 2015), you may see a couple of dozen whitepapers about the 5G. (This kind of focus hasn't been changed much until mid 2013)Īt least, one thing for sure will be that the data rate will be at least several G bps. When the first talk about 5G started and some of prototyping test result came out, the focus was mainly around throughput. I would put the list of features from several different organization. However there are several organization that describes key technical component or key performance indicator (KPI) that may envision on what 5G will be like. Nothing about 5G is defined officially in any standard organization as of now.
