5G Wireless Technologies

Mobile data traffic is expected to exceed traffic from wired devices by 2018. This emerging future will be empowered by revolutionary 5G radio network technologies with a focus on application-driven connectivity, transparently deployed over various technologies, infrastructures, users and devices to give a vision of "the internet of everything". This comprehensive book provides a roadmap of 5G, presenting advanced radio technologies, innovative resource management approaches and novel architectures.

Topics covered include: coordinated, massive or distributed MIMO; sparse code multiple access; mm-wave communications; full duplexing; D2D communications and contextualization; ultra-dense networks and universal resources management; cloud RAN; licensed shared access; the sharing economy paradigm and the future of wireless toward smart cities.

5G Wireless Technologies is an invaluable reference for researchers and advanced students working in wireless and digital communications, and industrial R&D telecommunications designers.
