A comprehensive text to an understanding the next generation mobile
broadband and wireless Internet of Things (IoT) technologies
5G Verticals brings together in one comprehensive volume a group of
visionaries and technical experts from academia and industry. The expert
authors discuss the applications and technologies that comprise 5G
verticals. The earlier network generations (2G to 4G) were designed as
on-size-fits-all, general-purpose connectivity platforms with limited
differentiation capabilities. 5G networks have the capability to demand
customizable mobile networks and create an ecosystem for technical and
business innovation involving vertical markets such as automotive,
healthcare, manufacturing, energy, food and agriculture, city
management, government, public transportation, media and more.
5G will serve a large portfolio of applications with various
requirements ranging from high reliability to ultra-low latency going
through high bandwidth and mobility. In this book, the authors explore
applications and usages of various 5G verticals including a set of key
metrics for these uses and their corresponding target requirements. The
book also examines the potential network architectures and enabling
technologies to meet the requirements of 5G verticals. This important
book:
- Offers a comprehensive resource to the promise of 5G Verticals
- Provides a set of key metrics for the uses and target requirements
- Contains illustrative examples of the technology and applications
- Includes contributions from experts in the field and professionals
that developed the 5G standards
- Provides an analysis of specific vertical industries which have the
potential to be among the first industries to use 5G
Written for industry practitioners, engineers and researchers, 5G
Verticals discusses the technology that enables the 5G system to be
flexibly deployed and scaled.
