Abstract

Wireless communication systems have historically undergone a revolution about once every decade (e.g., an entirely new standard). We are now thinking about 5G, which is at the exploratory research phase, with industry consensus hinting toward commercialization around 2020 with widespread adoption by 2025. The market is demanding that 5G should support a much higher system capacity (100–1000 ×) than current 4G systems, which are already close to the Shannon limit in point-to-point communication systems. To address the 5G design target, the information theory suggests ...
