The explosive growth of wireless data traffic in the future fifth generation mobile communication system (5G) has led researchers to develop new disruptive technologies. As an extension of traditional MIMO technology, massive MIMO can greatly improve the throughput rate and energy efficiency, and can effectively improve the link reliability and data transmission rate, which is an important research direction of 5G wireless communication. Massive MIMO technology is nearly three years to get a new technology of rapid development and it through a lot of increasing the number of antenna communication, using very duplex communication mode, make the system spectrum efficiency to an unprecedented height.

Massive MIMO is a advance of MIMO technology. M-MIMO use hundreds of Base station (BS) to simultaneously serve multiple users. It combines with millimeter wave (mmWave) to provide huge spectral efficient, high reliability and high energy efficiency. Massive MIMO gives huge antennas, high signal strength, less noise reduction and also using better channel model. This paper discusses the detail description of fifth generation (5G) network architecture and to improve massive MIMO in existing technology.


With the rapid development of mobile Internet technology, mobile network data traffic presents an explosive growth trend. Especially, the proportion of mobile video business has become a large proportion in mobile Internet business. Mobile video business is considered as a typical business in the 5G network, such as in online education. The growth of video traffic poses a great challenge to mobile network. In order to provide users with better quality of experience (QoE), it requires mobile network to provide higher data transmission rate and lower network delay. This paper adopts a combined optimization to minimize total cost and maximize QoE simultaneously. The optimization problem is solved by ant colony algorithm. The effectiveness is verified on experiment.

Massive MIMO is an extension of traditional MIMO with the exception that the BSs in massive MIMO are equipped with large number of antennas, usually hundred or more. This large number of antennas provide several positive advantages towards wireless communication with respect to increasing volume of data traffic. Each antenna is capable of serving multiple users simultaneously leading to reduction in power consumption as well as data rate amplification. Additionally, narrow and more focused beams are pointed to individual user devices located at the cell edge thereby upgrading of downlink signal quality. Using massive MIMO technique also increases reliability of the links, reduces noise effects, and mitigates and interference. With increasing number of users gets service, the throughput of the system also increases.

<span>Due to the evaluation of mobile devices and applications in the current decade, a new direction for wireless networks has emerged. The general consensus about the future 5G network is that the following should be taken into account; the purpose of thousand-fold system capacity, hundredfold energy efficiency, lower latency, and smooth connectivity. The massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), as well as the Millimeter wave (mm Wave) have been considered in the ultra-dense cellular network (UDN), because they are viewed as the emergent solution for the next generations of communication. This article focuses on evaluating and discussing the performance of mm Wave massive MIMO for ultra-dense network, which is one of the major technologies for the 5G wireless network. More so, the energy efficiencies of two kinds of architectures for wireless backhaul networks were investigated and compared in this article. The results of the simulation revealed some points that should be considered during the deployment of small cells in the two architectures UDN with backhaul network capacity and backhaul energy efficiency, that the changing the frequency bands in Distribution approach gives the same energy efficiency reached to 600 Mb/s at 15 nodes while the Conventional approach results reached less than 100 Mb/s at the same number of nodes.</span>

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) methods are promising techniques for improving the energy and spectrum efficiency of Fifth Generation/Beyond Fifth Generation (5G/B5G) networks. In order to take advantage of both techniques, we propose an RIS-assisted UAV secure communication scheme, where an UAV is equipped with RIS to facilitate secure transmission. To maximize the average secrecy rate, we jointly optimize the beamforming power, reflect phase shift, and UAV’s trajectory. For this non-convex problem, we decompose it into the power beamforming problem, the phase shift optimization problem, and the UAV’s trajectory design problem, and proposed an efficient iterative algorithm to solve the problem. The numerical results verify the superiority of the proposed scheme that can improve the average secure transmission rate by about 20% compared to that of Eavesdropping elimination methods.

Background: The 5G will lead to a great transformation in the mobile telecommunications sector. Objective: The huge challenges being faced by wireless communications such as the increased number of users have given a chance for 5G systems to be developed and considered as an alternative solution. The 5G technology will provide a higher data rate, reduced latency, more efficient power than the previous generations, higher system capacity, and more connected devices. Method: It will offer new different technologies and enhanced versions of the existing ones, as well as new features. 5G systems are going to use massive MIMO (mMIMO), which is a promising technology in the development of these systems.

The Fifth generation (5G) network is projected to support large amount of data traffic and massive number of wireless connections. Different data traffic has different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. 5G mobile network aims to address the limitations of previous cellular standards (i.e., 2G/3G/4G) and be a prospective key enabler for future Internet of Things (IoT). 5G networks support a wide range of applications such as smart home, autonomous driving, drone operations, health and mission critical applications, Industrial IoT (IIoT), and entertainment and multimedia. Based on end users’ experience, several 5G services are categorized into immersive 5G services, intelligent 5G services, omnipresent 5G services, autonomous 5G services, and public 5G services. In this paper, we present a brief overview of 5G technical scenarios. We then provide a brief overview of accepted papers in our Special Issue on 5G mobile services and scenarios. Finally, we conclude this paper.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and fifth-generation mobile network technologies, automatic instrument reading has become an increasingly important topic for intelligent sensors in smart cities. We propose a full pipeline to automatically read watermeters based on a single image, using deep learning methods to provide new technical support for an intelligent water meter reading. To handle the various challenging environments where watermeters reside, our pipeline disentangled the task into individual subtasks based on the structures of typical watermeters. These subtasks include component localization, orientation alignment, spatial layout guidance reading, and regression-based pointer reading. The devised algorithms for orientation alignment and spatial layout guidance are tailored to improve the robustness of our neural network. We also collect images of watermeters in real scenes and build a dataset for training and evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method even under challenging environments with varying lighting, occlusions, and different orientations. Thanks to the lightweight algorithms adopted in our pipeline, the system can be easily deployed and fully automated.
