Abstract

5G is the fifth-generation wireless technology for digital cellular networks. The present-day cellular communication requires better quality of service, improved data rate, increased capacity, decreased latency, and improved communication network and security. Various technologies have evolved which will serve as a backbone in the establishment of 5G. This paper presents the details of the possible technologies that are proposed for the implementation of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network along with the ‘n’ number of challenges that 5G technology will actually face during the practical implementation of these technologies. Some of the emerging technologies and challenges related to 5G are addressed in this paper. The interrelation between IoT and 5G and how 5G will aid IoT technology in its complete establishment is also discussed.
