A Glimpse Beyond 5G in Wireless Networks

This book gathers the latest research findings on emerging trends in 5G and beyond wireless systems. The authors present and assess different enabling technologies, capabilities, and anticipated communications and computing solutions for 5G and beyond. Topics discussed include new frequency bands, new multiple antenna systems, massive D2D connectivity, new network deployment, and more. These discussions help the readers to understand more advanced research materials for developing new ideas to make a contribution in this field for themselves. This book aims to serve as a virtual and effective bridge between academic research in theory and engineering development in practice. Students, professional, and practitioners who seek to learn the latest development in wireless technologies should find interest in this book.
