5G & 6G Communication Networks

The fifth generation of mobile networks, offering higher speeds, lower latency and support for many more connected devices than 4G, along with features such as network slicing.

An approach that disaggregates the radio access network into hardware and software components with open interfaces, so operators can mix vendors instead of relying on a single supplier.

5G's low latency and edge computing complement each other: processing near the network edge lets applications such as industrial automation and video analytics respond quickly.

The expected next generation of mobile networks, still being researched and standardised. The 6G book on this site covers the technologies and architectures being discussed.
