Sustaining the Development Pace of Wireless Communication Technology with Next-Generation Technologies

Abstract

Transferring data from one location to another without the use of a physical media is the primary goal of wireless communication. There are several generations of wireless technology: the first generation utilized analog signals, the second generation used digital signals, the third generation offered wireless internet access (3G), and the fourth generation (4G) is quicker than the third generation but depletes batteries more quickly. The fifth generation of technology exhibits a sharp rise in internet speed; all technologies must be updated to keep up with emerging fields like artificial intelligence and the internet of things. There are a few issues with wireless communication, including self-interference, external interference, internal interference, and communication signal attenuation. Technologies such as multichannel, channel hopping, network coding, antenna diversity, multiple routing, and power control can address these issues; however, these solutions also have certain drawbacks, such as packet loss, error connection requirements, management crises, and low power efficiency, which should be addressed with an appropriate solution. Future generations of wireless communication systems will be able to overcome the shortcomings of the current generation by providing faster throughput in crowded environments, more network efficiency, and longer battery life.
