Application of 5G Waveform in Internet of Things (IoT) and Its Impact on BER in Physical Layer

Wireless freedom, smaller size, faster speed, smarter world: the next advancement is here, i.e., 5G. Recently, the world is going crazy over the latest technology, i.e., 4G (LTE/LTE-Advanced networks). Also in India, Reliance Jio 4G network has gained immense popularity. Already research has started in the coming next generation, i.e., 5G with an aim of increasing data rate from 10 to 100 times, reducing energy consumption by 10 times, increasing 100 times more connected devices, and also to reduce the latency. Hence, 5G network will be able to support machine to machine communication efficiently. That will make the 5G network capable of monitoring and controlling millions of devices and will provide the enormous data collection and distribution requirements of Internet of Things, i.e., IoT. Here, in this paper, a comparative analysis of BER performance of LTE-Advanced system and 5G system has been done, once with big date, i.e., wideband and then with control signals, i.e., narrowband, as for implementing IoT, big data is needed to support massive devices with high speed and narrowband is needed for controlling purpose. We are concerned about BER performance as BER is an important parameter for system performance analysis. SystemVue 2016.08 software has been used for experimental purpose. Also, MATLAB 2015 has been used.
