This book will help readers comprehend technical and policy elements of telecommunication particularly in the context of 5G. It first presents an overview of the current research and standardization practices and lays down the global frequency spectrum allocation process. It further lists solutions to accommodate 5G spectrum requirements.

The readers will find a considerable amount of information on 4G (LTE-Advanced), LTE-Advance Pro, 5G NR (New Radio); transport network technologies, 5G NGC (Next Generation Core), OSS (Operations Support Systems), network deployment and end-to-end 5G network architecture.

Some details on multiple network elements (end products) such as 5G base station/small cells and the role of semiconductors in telecommunication are also provided. Keeping trends in mind, service delivery mechanisms along with state-of-the-art services such as MFS (mobile financial services), mHealth (mobile health) and IoT (Internet-of-Things) are covered at length. At the end, telecom sector's burning challenges and best practices are explained which may be looked into for today's and tomorrow's networks.

The book concludes with certain high level suggestions for the growth of telecommunication, particularly on the importance of basic research, departure from ten-year evolution cycle and having a 20-30 year plan.

  • Explains the conceivable six phases of mobile telecommunication's ecosystem that includes R&D, standardization, product/network/device & application development, and burning challenges and best practices
  • Provides an overview of research and standardization on 5G
  • Discusses solutions to address 5G spectrum requirements while describing the global frequency spectrum allocation process
  • Presents various case studies and policies

Industry Reviews

"This is a comprehensive reference on mobile communications technology and market issues. The book is well-written and concise, and does not require specialized training to digest the key messages. It provides useful background on the origins of mobile telephony, and goes into depth on all key technical aspects of 5G which continue to shape market developments in 2020. I refer to this book frequently during the course of my research and writing on telecom network infrastructure topics. This is an excellent resource for those wishing to understand 5G communications."

"This [book is] a perfect resource for both beginners and experts."

~Dr. Sabit Ekin, Oklahoma State University

"This book will be a good addition to knowledge, because its provides the basic concepts of 5G communication and also discuss all the underlying technologies used for communication."

~Ghulam M. Chaudhry, Ph.D., University of Missouri-Kansas City

"The main strength, in my view, is that the Author has spent several years in the field, working for Telecom Operators and Policy making bodies. His practical hands-on experience and real-life problems that he faced and how he solved them adds real value and is the main strength of this book.

I like the approach taken by the Author to gradually build the background, present the big picture first before divulging in to details. For example, he starts with with concept of basic and applied research and how its applicable in telecommunications; the need of standardization and the role standardization bodies; product development; end-to-end architecture of a mobile network; and key challenges as well as best practices in telecom industry.

....it is a very unique book in which the Author has not only covered almost all the technical aspects of 5G Technology but also walked the reader through the journey which lead up to this development. He has provided the big picture of why and how technological developments materialize. From conception of idea to commercial deployment of technologies, the Author has beautifully captured the phases involved."
