The demand for mobile broadband will continue to increase in upcoming years, largely driven by the need to deliver ultra-high definition video. 5G is not only evolutionary, it also provides higher bandwidth and lower latency than the current-generation technology. More importantly, 5G is revolutionary in that it is expected to enable fundamentally new applications with much more stringent requirements in latency and bandwidth. 5G should help solve the last-mile/last-kilometer problem and provide broadband access to the next billion users on earth at a much lower cost because of its use of new spectrum and its improvements in spectral efficiency. 5G wireless access networks will need to combine several innovative aspects of decentralized and centralized allocation looking to maximize performance and minimize signaling load. Research is currently conducted to understand the inspirations, requirements, and the promising technical options to boost and enrich activities in 5G. Design Methodologies and Tools for 5G Network Development and Application presents the enhancement methods of 5G communication, explores the methods for faster communication, and provides a promising alternative solution that equips designers with the capability to produce high performance, scalable, and adoptable communication protocol. This book provides complete design methodologies, supporting tools for 5G communication, and innovative works. The design and evaluation of different proposed 5G structures signal integrity, reliability, low-power techniques, application mapping, testing, and future trends. This book is ideal for researchers who are working in communication, networks, design and implementations, industry personnel, engineers, practitioners, academicians, and students who are interested in the evolution, importance, usage, and technology adoption for 5G applications.

This book presents select peer-reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Frontiers in Smart Systems Technologies (ICFSST 2019). It focuses on latest research and cutting-edge technologies in smart systems and intelligent autonomous systems with advanced functionality. Comprising topics related to diverse aspects of smart technologies such as high security, reliability, miniaturization, energy consumption, and intelligent data processing, the book contains contributions from academics as well as industry. Given the range of the topics covered, this book will prove useful for students, researchers, and professionals alike.

In internet of things (IoT) applications, wireless connectivity is a key factor, particularly those that need to be in transition, or where wired communication is not effective or practicable. For top-notch connectivity of the Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) standard, the 900MHz frequency is generally used by most of the vendors. The radiation quality not only depends on the antenna geometry but on immediate surroundings. Additionally, the IoT product itself and the user of the product can strongly affect the resulting radiation pattern and other characteristics of the antenna. On the other hand, a suitable antenna should also have high efficiency and adequate bandwidth covering the desired frequency range. To take these effects into consideration, the whole IoT product must be included in the antenna simulations. Antenna Design for Narrowband IoT: Design, Analysis, and Applications provides the antenna design concept for narrowband internet of things applications, performs a detailed analysis of the antenna, and discusses the various antenna design concepts and structures. Covering a range of topics such as antenna design and antenna measurement systems, this book is ideal for industry professionals, research scholars, academicians, professors, and students.
