Abstract

Wireless networks have evolved in the blink of an eye from 4G to 5G and are progressing towards beyond-5G (B5G) frameworks, leading to revolutionary changes in connectivity, speed, and network smarts. This review discusses trending features, challenges, and future trends of 5G and B5G wireless communications technologies. It presents chief goals of 5G, such as ultra-low latency, high spectral efficiency, massive machine-type communication, and up to 10 Gbps user data rate. Furthermore, the article describes how machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and edge computing are essential to handling the complexity of network demands and to facilitating real-time adaptability in 5G systems. A large body of literature reviews the enabling technologies such as non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), cell-free massive MIMO, and digital twins based on UAV. The review also indicates the necessity of robust security architectures to neutralize new threats created by B5G technologies and increased device connectivity. Some of the primary challenges raised include ensuring quality of service (QoS), handover security, and ultra-reliable communication in highly dense and heterogeneous networks. This paper is an in-depth guide for researchers and professionals who want to know about today and the visionary path of wireless networking, offering insights into the technological innovation and infrastructural strategy that will be critical to the next generation of mobile communications.

Keywords: 5G, Wireless Networks, Machine Learning, NOMA, MIMO, Edge Computing, Network Security, Ultra-Reliable Communication, UAV, Beyond 5G (B5G)
