Since the 4G concepts have already moved to the standardization phase, it is time to start working on the building blocks of the Next Generation of Wireless and Mobile Networks, 5G. LTE provides high data rates that are needed for the availability of new services and mobile applications. Therefore LTE is seen as a potential technology candidate for 5G. This paper describes an LTE link level simulation, which tests the performance of an LTE link level channel. The simulator offers to carry out single-downlink, single-cell multi-user, and multi-cell multi-user simulations. The simulation results will contribute for the network optimization of LTE (and 5G in the future). Additionally, by adding new functionalities to the simulator, the researchers can create and test different network scenarios.

The very high data rates that are required for future wireless and mobile communication systems do not appear to be feasible with the conventional techniques and architectures. The goal of reaching high data rates is particularly challenging for systems that are power, bandwidth, and complexity limited. However, another domain can be exploited to significantly increase channel capacity: the spatial dimension. This is achieved by the use of multiple transmit and receive antennas. Especially, Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) system has brought a great improvement in the system capacity and spectral efficiency by serving multiple users simultaneously. Here will be presented a mathematical model of the downlink MU-MIMO system and its capacity, as well as different precoded transmission schemes for implementing the downl...

Therefore, they have marked the beginning of a true digital society. Although 5G network offers support of many broadband applications and services, still it may not be able to meet the rapid increase of the traffic demands. Therefore, the main research and development activities started to focus on the next 6G mobile and wireless network, which is expected to be commercially available around 2030. In this direction, this paper highlights the vision of the technologies used in 6G network, 6G network architecture, 6G network challenges and potential solutions.

Мобилните и безжични мрежи 5G имаат значителни подобрувања во поглед на латентноста, податочните брзини, спектралната ефикасност, мобилноста и бројот на поврзани уреди. Затоа тие го имаат означено почетокот на вистинско дигитално општество. Иако 5G-мрежата нуди поддршка на голем број апликации и сервиси, сепак нема да биде во можност да ги задоволи барањата на рапидно зголемените сообраќајни побарувања. Затоа главните истражувачки и развојни активности почнаа да се фокусираат на идните мобилни и безжични мрежи 6G за кои се очекува да бидат комерцијално достапни околу 2030 година. Во таа насока, овој труд ја истакнува визијата на технологиите што ќе се користат во мобилните 6G мрежи, 6G-мрежната архитектура, предизвиците на 6G-мрежите, како и потенцијалните решенија.

The proposed 5G framework is leading to high QoS provisioning for any given multimedia service, higher bandwidth utilization, traffic load sharing, mobile cloud plus fog computing features, and multi-radio interface capabilities. The framework is user-centric, targeted at always-on connectivity with using radio network aggregation for available mobile broadband connections, and empowered with mobile cloud and fog computing advantages. Moreover, our proposed framework is using Lyapunov drift-plus-penalty theorem that provides a methodology for designing algorithm to maximize the average throughput and stabilize the queuing. Also, we are showing the upper bound of the consumed power and the lower bound of the battery lifetime for the proposed 5G terminal. The advanced performance of our 5G QoS plus MCC framew...

Fortunately, Fog Computing and Cloud Computing, with their service orchestration mechanisms offer virtually unlimited dynamic resources for computation, storage and service provision, that will effectively cope with the requirements of the forthcoming services. 5G will use the benefits of centralized high performance computing cloud centers, cloud and fog RANs and distributed peer-to-peer mobile cloud that will create opportunities for companies to deploy many new real-time services that cannot be delivered over current mobile and wireless networks. This paper evaluates a model for fog and cloud hybrid environment service orchestration mechanisms for 5G network in terms of energy efficiency per user for different payloads.

This is primarily enabled by pushing computing, control, data storage and processing into the cloud. However, the cloud encounters growing limitations, such as reduced latency, high mobility, high scalability and real-time execution in order to meet the computing and intelligent networking demands for the next 5G mobile and wireless network. A new paradigm called Fog Computing and Networking, or briefly Fog has emerged to resolve these limits. Fog distributes computing, data processing, and networking services closer to the end users. It is an architecture where distributed edge and user devices collaborate with each other and with the clouds to carry out computing, control, networking, and data management tasks. Fog applied in 5G network can significantly improve network performance in terms of spectral and energy efficiency, enable direct device-to-device wireless communications, and support the growing trend of network function virtualization and separation of network control intelligence from radio network hardware. This paper evaluates the quality of cloud and fog computing and networking orchestrated services in 5G mobile and wireless network in terms of energy efficiency.

However, the cloud alone encounters growing limitations, such as reduced latency, high mobility, high scalability, and real-time execution in order to meet the upcoming computing and intelligent networking demands. A new paradigm called fog computing has emerged to overcome these limits. Fog extends cloud computing and services to the edge of the network. It provides data, computing, storage, and application services to end-users that can be hosted at the network edge. It reduces service latency, and improves QoS/QoE, that results in superior user experience. This chapter is about introduction and overview of fog computing, comparison between fog computing and cloud computing, fog computing and mobile edge computing, possible fog computing architecture, applications of fog computing, and possible research directions.

However, future Internet will exacerbate the need for improved QoS/OoE, supported by services that are orchestrated on-demand and that are capable to adapt at runtime depending on the contextual conditions, to allow reduced latency, high mobility, high scalability and real time execution. A new paradigm called Fog Computing has emerged to meet these requirements. It extends Cloud Computing to the network edge, allowing low latency, load balancing and flexible mobility support, and showing as a promising solution for 5G network. This paper evaluates Fog Computing service orchestration as a support mechanism for 5G Network in terms of round trip time latency.

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) integrates the cloud computing into the mobile environment and overcomes obstacles related to the performance (battery life, storage, and bandwidth), environment (heterogeneity, scalability and availability), and security (reliability and privacy). One potential application of MCC is the Mobile Distance Learning (MDL), where the students can get the knowledge from centralized shared resources at any place and any time.
