Mobile Communication Technologies and Trends
Mobile Communication Technologies and Trends Mobile networks have evolved quickly, moving from basic voice and SMS to data-heavy services. 5G brings faster speeds, lower latency, and the ability to connect many devices at once. Looking ahead, researchers and operators explore 6G ideas such as AI-driven networks, terahertz bands, and smarter spectrum use. The result is a more capable and more flexible mobile infrastructure. Key technologies shaping the landscape include massive MIMO, which boosts capacity; millimeter wave bands for high data rates; and edge computing, which moves processing closer to users. AI helps manage traffic, predict failures, and optimize energy use. Network slicing lets operators create tailored services for different needs, from mobile gaming to critical industrial tasks. All of these pieces work together to improve reliability and user experience. ...
