Making 5G Wireless Technology a Reality and Initiatives Towards 6G
summary
Samsung-era work demonstrates millimeter-wave feasibility with 1 Gbps at 1 km (28 GHz testbed in 2013) and later 7.9 Gbps mobile trials with beam tracking at vehicle speeds ~60 mph, using phased arrays and transmit beamforming. 5G targets include 1 ms latency and 1 million devices per km² (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC). Roadmap expects early 6G research now, terahertz spectrum (≥100 GHz) exploration, consensus-building and standardization, and potential commercialization around 2029.
