An Overview of High Speed Streaming in 5G

The fifth generation of mobile communications (5G) provides advanced features which were not witnessed ever before. Its data rates, end to end latency, and several other performance parameters are absolutely exemplary. Extremely high data rates and low latency are very much suitable for applications related to multimedia communication. In fact, multimedia streaming is a priority area for 5G. The main requirements of multimedia streaming are fulfilled by 5G technologies. In this article, we analyze 5G features for high-speed streaming. Real-time streaming was not a popular application over mobile platforms in the previous mobile generations. However, these streaming related issues will be resolved in 5G. We go through the modern day streaming requirements and their infrastructure. The high bandwidths required in the core network of the 5G will be provided by the fast networking facilities of optical networks. In the access part MIMO and large constellation for modulation will serve the high speed streaming requirements. In this article, we logically correlate the advanced 5G features with high-speed streaming requirements.
