This Webinar provides an insight into Fifth Generation Cellular Communications (5G) and its transition to Sixth Generation Cellular Communications (6G). This Webinar presents 5G transmission techniques, namely the Non Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) method, in addition to Massive MIMO Systems and Millimeter waves. The transmission techniques expected for 6G are under investigation, namely the intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) and large intelligent surfaces (LIS) systems. While 5G requirements are achieved based on millimeter waves and Massive MIMO, 6G must incorporate new concepts and frequency bands not yet considered for cellular communications, namely communications using visible light spectrum and terahertz bands (100 GHz–10 THz), allowing data rates in the order of hundreds of Gbps.
The insertion of 5G and 6G in the framework of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is addressed in this conference. Consisting of a paradigm shift, when compared to previous generations, 5G supports a myriad of new services based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications (V2V), supporting autonomous vehicles, Smart Cities, Smart Homes, surgeries remote, etc. While 5G plays an important role in the initial implementation of the 4th Industrial Revolution, 6G will address a number of new services such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, holographic services, advanced Internet of Things, wireless brain-computer interaction and mobility at higher speeds. .
