  • Chapter
  • First Online:
5G System Design

Abstract

This chapter investigates the motivations and driving forces of 5G development as well as introduces the 5G use cases and technical requirements. 5G is the first generation that devotes itself to connecting both humans and machines. Accordingly, the service requirements and the technical performance requirements are extended from mobile broadband (MBB) to the new use cases. The diverse requirements pose significant challenges to system design.
