To meet the needs of a networked society, next-generation 5G cellular networks promise revolutionary improvements in network capacity, data rates and latency, with greatly increased network flexibility and efficiency. At the same time, network operators will expect lower operational and infrastructure costs than today. Achieving these challenging goals will require extensive and multi-faceted changes in all aspects of the cellular eco-system, from chipsets and devices to base stations and small cells, from front haul and back haul to network management and data center performance. Many new technologies such as network function virtualization (NFV), adaptive beamforming and beamtracking techniques, tight integration with 4G LTE and new designs for mobile devices will be developed to enhance network performance, but by themselves, they will not be sufficient.
