Comparative studies on 3G,4G and 5G wireless technology

The fifth generation wireless 5G development initiative is based upon 4G, which at present is struggling to meet its performance goals. The comparison between 3G and 4G wireless communication systems in relation to its architecture, speed, frequency band, switching design basis and forward error correction is studied, and were discovered that their performances are still unable to solve the unending problems of poor coverage, bad interconnectivity, poor quality of service and flexibility. An ideal 5G model to accommodate the challenges and shortfalls of 3G and 4G deployments is discussed as well as the significant system improvements on the earlier wireless technologies. The radio channel propagation characteristics for 4G and 5G systems is discussed. Major advantages of 5G network in providing myriads of services to end users personalization, terminal and network heterogeneity, intelligence networking and network convergence among other benefits are highlighted.The significance of the study is evaluated for a fast and effective connection and communication of devices like mobile phones and computers, including the capability of supporting and allowing a highly flexible network connectivity.
