5G Technology Evolutions

5G technology has number of existing generations of wireless technologies in terms of their portal, efficiency, effectiveness, and cost-benefit analysis. The paper puts a focus on the evolution and development of various generations of mobile wireless technology along with their significance and advantages of one over the other. From past several decades, mobile wireless technologies have experience 4 or 5 generations of technology revolution and evolution, namely from 1G to 4G. The Current research in mobile wireless technology concentrates on promoting the implementation of LTE technology and 5G technology. At present, the term is not officially used. In 5G, the research on the development of World Wide Wireless internet access (WWW), Dynamic adhoc Wireless Networks (DAWN) and Real Wireless World. In this paper, we focusa new network architecture for the next-generation of mobile networks, 5G. In this architecture, the mobile device will have the ability to get to the Radio Access Technology - RAT based on certain user-defined criteria.

An Empirical Study of Factors Affecting Mobile Wireless Technology Adoption for Promoting Interactive Lectures in Higher Education

<p>Use of mobile technology are widespread, particularly among the younger generation. There is a huge potential for utilizing such technology, particularly in lecture sessions with large number of students, serving as an interaction tool between the students and lecturer. The challenge is to identify adoption factors to ensure effective adoption of the technology to promote interactivity between students and lecturer in the classroom. This paper aims to examine factors supporting use of mobile wireless technology during lectures to promote interactivity between students and lecturers in Malaysia’s higher education institutions. Survey involving higher education students in Malaysia was conducted with a sample size of 302. Factor analysis results identified five factors: independent variables System Usefulness (SU), User System Perception (USP), User Uncertainty Avoidance (UUA), System and Information Quality (SIQ), and dependent variable Mobile Wireless Technology Adoption for Interactive Lectures (MWT_AIL). All independent variables are positively associated to MWT_AIL, with UUA and SIQ having higher level of significance compared to SU and USP. Respondents were selected from higher learning institutions from urban areas in Malaysia. Therefore results obtained are not representative of the entire higher education landscape in Malaysia and future studies are warranted to include higher learning institutions located in rural areas. It is hoped that findings from this study will serve as a catalyst for future researches to be conducted in this area, particularly among higher education researchers seeking ways to utilize technology effectively to enhance the learning experiences of the students in the classroom.</p>

Home Telecare, Medical Implant, and Mobile Technology

With a rapidly expanding global aging population, alternatives must be developed to minimize the inevitable increase in acute and long-term care admissions to the health care system. This chapter explores the use of home telecare as an alternative medical approach to managing this growing trend, while also providing superior care to geriatric patients. To address some of the emergent disadvantages of home telecare concerning usability, self-management, and confinement to the home, the use of a cardiac implant in conjunction with a mobile device—to assist in the management of chronic heart failure in seniors—is proposed as a promising technological solution to overcoming these limitations. Ultimately, it seems that the growth of home telecare, as well as the great potential to enhance its services with the use of mobile wireless technology, stands to drastically improve clinical decision-making and management of health services in the future.
