ABSTRACT
Mobile networks have revolutionized the way that society communicates, and today, cellular and smartphones are part of our everyday life. Since the first generation (1G) of mobile networks, deployed during the 1980s, cellular systems have evolved toward higher capacity to cover the ever-growing number of subscribers. With the introduction of digital services, already in the second generation (2G), the demand for higher throughput has driven the development of new standards. Hence, the third generation (3G) and the fourth generation (4G) were designed to address higher capacity and data rates. Now, the fifth generation (5G) is being discussed by the research community, and it is clear that the new services and scenarios foreseen for the future mobile communication systems will impose requirements and constraints that go beyond throughput and capacity. Certainly, bitpipe communication will require data rates several times higher than Long-Term EvolutionAdvanced (LTE-A) can support. Also, capacity in terms of the number of users is a huge challenge when a massive number of small and power-limited devices must
