Mobile Communication: Technologies and Trends
Mobile Communication: Technologies and Trends Mobile communication today connects billions of people and countless devices. The system relies on radio access networks, backhaul, and cloud services that coordinate data, timing, and control. In the last decade, 5G brought faster speeds, lower latency, and new service categories like URLLC and mMTC, enabling things from smart factories to connected cars. Current networks rely on several core technologies working together to balance speed, coverage, and reliability. Massive MIMO and beamforming boost capacity, while mmWave expands the usable spectrum at close range. Sub-6 GHz bands help with wide-area coverage. Network slicing lets operators tailor services for people and industries, and edge computing brings processing closer to users for real-time apps. ...
