Looking back at the technical history of wireless communication systems, it becomes apparent that the fifth generation (5G) is following a fundamentally different developmental tract than what came before it. The first generation was based upon analog transmission technology. The second generation was the transition from analog to digital transmission technology in the form of mainly time division multiple access. The third generation was the transition of the wireless industry to the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wave form. The fourth generation was the adoption of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Each generation was associated with a change in the waveform and an associated improvement in the spectral efficiency due to the waveform. However, 5G is decidedly not a change in the waveform because OFDM is still the waveform in the first release of 5G; Release 15. The main reason for this, in our opinion, is that in the frequency range from 1 to 60 GHz, OFDM is extremely flexible and a proven waveform does not exist in the literature that significantly outperforms it.
This raises the question: What is so special about 5G leading to all the hype? In the literature and in the press, there are numerous articles about how 5G will be “more”; more capacity, more coverage, higher data rates, and lower latency. Yes, 5G is about all of that but in our opinion, these aspects are insignificant to the revolution that is 5G. To understand its significance, we must look at the environment onto which 5G will be deployed.
As humans we have gone through approximately three industrial revolutions. The first industrial revolution was the harnessing of steam power for manufacturing. Humans experienced more interaction and communication sped up with the invention of the steam railroad. The second industrial revolution was the harmonization of science in manufacturing processes which resulted in mass production and the assembly line. Associated with the industrial advances was another order of communication improvements with the development of the telegraph and telephony. The third industrial revolution witnessed the rise of electronics and ushered in the digital age that we are enjoying today. It started the era of miniaturization which notably opened up new space and biotechnical frontiers. Communication was again revolutionized with the development of untethered wireless communication. What is clear is that associated with every industrial revolution there was an improvement in human communications by orders of magnitude. Communication and industrial revolution can then be considered different sides of the same coin.
5G is arriving as the fourth industrial revolution is unfolding. This industrial revolution is about the merging of the industrial physical world with the biological and the digital worlds. One characteristic which is already clear is that digitalization and artificial intelligence has evolved to a point where we can build a new virtual world from which we can control the physical world. In the communication industry literature, the Internet of Things (IoT) or vertical industry evolution fall under the umbrella of enabling the fourth industrial revolution by 5G. Unfortunately, due to its diversity, the information about how 5G will support this industrial revolution is scattered among a number of papers, keynote presentations, and panel discussions. This motivated us to try to gather and harmonize the different bits of information into one book.
This book is written by experts in the field and experts who developed the 5G standards. It not only discusses technically the 5G system as it is standardized in Release 15 but it also discusses the technology that enables the 5G system to be flexibly deployed and scaled as new use cases that support the vertical industry are identified and developed. It also looks at the market forces that are driving how 5G will support the vertical use cases. Furthermore, several specific vertical industries, which have the potential to be among the first industries to use 5G, will be analyzed in detail. It will demonstrate that 5G together with the fourth industrial revolution has a chance to break the link between development and environmental cost. For the first time, the efficiencies enabled by 5G may allow for economic development without sacrificing the environment.
This book would not have been possible without the support of others. We would like to gratefully acknowledge our colleagues who have contributed chapters. Not only have they shaped the commercial wireless industry but, over many years, we have also learned a great deal from them. We would also like to thank our families for their encouragement, support, and undying love. Special thanks go to our wives, Srirajani and Sherry, who have endured our absence for many days while we were away at standards and industrial meetings developing the 5G standards. A special acknowledgment goes to the editorial team and production team at John Wiley; especially to our project editor, Louis Manoharan.
