ABSTRACT
The growing request for mobile broadband has motivated research activities for the next generation of cellular networks to increase data rates and achieve a higher quality of service. The long term evolution advanced (LTE-Advanced) networks fully meet 4G requirements and were commercially launched in 2012 to satisfy user demand. However, the rapid growth of data traffic as a result of revolution at the user devices and increased connection between vehicles, sensors, and health devices are driving the advent of the new generation wireless mobile 5G networks. Research activities on 5G communication technologies have been recently started in both the academic and industrial communities [1,2].
