Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the background to the roadmap and evolution to 5G and the path the industry is taking to realise the benefits that will come from a mass industry deployment of this standardised mobile technology. 4G LTE network rollouts are continuing and new LTE features are being deployed to support both industry and user expectations for what 5G will deliver once the technology has been deployed.
