5G In Perspective: A Pragmatic Guide To What's Next

By Peter Gammel et al, Skyworks

The world’s communications and other connected technologies are evolving rapidly toward 5G in the hope of bringing about new and exciting solutions for deep learning, artificial intelligence, and “ambient awareness.” While these applications all share an LTE backbone, there are different requirements driving unique solutions, which broadens the LTE content space. LTE is the best global, scalable, and secure communications network capable of providing individuals, communities, corporations, governments and countries with tools to grow their own innovative platforms and initiatives. This Skyworks paper examines the current state of LTE networks and the ways it could evolve to deliver a gigabit-per-second user experience, especially within emerging 5G systems.
