ABSTRACT

As an important application scenario of the forthcoming 5th generation (5G) system, the Internet of Things (IoT) has attracted a significant interest in recent years. It is well known that smart IoT devices will have a big impact on our everyday life. Existing wireless transmission techniques can be applied to IoT applications and provide satisfactory data rates for end-user applications. As a focus of global research and development efforts, 5G has been paid an increasing attention from both governments and institutions. Following existing wireless communication networks of 4G, 5G is expected to be commercialized around year 2020. 5G aims to provide a much higher data rate than its 4G counterpart. The target peak data rate is 10 Gbps, which represents a 10-fold increase over the existing 4G network. Latency is an important indicator of the performance of a wireless network. With the rapid development of modern transportation technology, users tend to surf the Internet in high-speed environments.
