Abstract:

Wireless Communication has evolved over the past three to four decades, the evolution brought about major changes in the type of technology been used, the speed of data transfer, capacity latency, and network coverage, amongst several other key factors. Four generations have been established as a result of the constant improvement of Wireless Communication. Fifth Generation (5G) is referred to as the future of mobile wireless communication as it intends to provide a limitless world void of any form of a wired network using the World Wide Wireless Web (WWWW) as its main feature. This study focuses on the significant changes and improvements a succeeding generation has over the preceding generation with more emphasis on the Fifth Generation over the previous generations of wireless communication. 5G has undergone several tests to ensure that it meets its requirement, most recently, some mobile companies in China launched smartphones having 5G technology.

I. Introduction

The era of mobile wireless communication networks emerged a few decades back which has helped in exchanging information across metropolitan areas, states, countries and even continents. Continuous improvements are being made in wireless communication as it relates to data capacity, speed, frequency, technology, latency. These changes have been categorized into Mobile Wireless Generations, there are four generations in existence.
