ABSTRACT
5G Wireless Technology is rapidly developing and is one of the biggest areas of research from industry and academia, also involving standardisation organisations and regulatory authorities. 5G technology offers many advantages, such as increased capacity, flexibility coverage and service ubiquity [1–3]. It is expected that the peak rate service will rise by an order of magnitude and, at the same time, the energy required per bit transmitted will drop significantly, allowing the simultaneous development of applications conceived for rapidly transferring large amounts of data and applications running on small devices, such as sensors and meters, that are powered by conventional batteries. Another important feature of 5G, the reduction of data latency, will push the development of new real-time applications, including robotised systems and autonomous vehicles.
