Abstract

The tremendous increase in multimedia applications and high-end communication devices like smart phones over the last decade has driven the capacity demand for the currently deployed wireless networks. As such, the future generation of wireless networks, e.g., fifth generation of wireless networks (5G), needs to address a number of challenges. First, with the proliferation of the high data-rate applications that have become ubiquitous nowadays, there should be a huge increase in the supported data rates by the next-generation networks. Secondly, with the advent of machine type communications (MTC) and the Internet-of-Things (IoT), the future network will need to support devices that are not only remotely controlled in real time but will also communicate with each other.
