There is considerable pressure to define the key requirements of 5G, develop 5G standards,
and perform technology trials as quickly as possible. Normally, these activities are best done …

As the standardization activities are being formed to lay the foundation of 5G wireless
networks, there is a common consensus on the need to replace the celebrated orthogonal …

A spectrally-localized waveform is proposed based on filtered orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (f-OFDM). By allowing the filter length to exceed the cyclic prefix (CP) length of …

One key advantage of 4G OFDM system is the relatively simple receiver implementation due
to the orthogonal resource allocation. However, from sum-capacity and spectral efficiency …

In the future, many objects will communicate with each other and with human beings,
enabling a vast range of possible services and applications. However, this scenario comes …

The next-generation cellular network is to provide a large variety of services for different
kinds of terminals, from traditional voice and data services over mobile phones to small …

There is a growing demand for 5G applications in all fields of knowledge. Current
applications, such as the Internet of Things, smart homes, and clean energy, require …

The concepts of smart building (SB) and smart facilities management (SFM) are crucial as
they aim to uplift occupants' living standards through information and communication …

The requirements and key areas for 5G are gradually becoming more apparent, and it is
becoming clear that 5G will need to be able to deal with increased levels of diversity in both …

Next-generation communication systems have to comply with very strict requirements for
increased flexibility in heterogeneous environments, high spectral efficiency, and agility of …
