Epilogue: wireless beyond 5G
Assuming success, 5G will not just introduce a new way of thinking in wireless networks design and optimization, but a new era, where “Wireless Connectivity as a Utility”will completely transform the way people, things, and (any) application devices communicate, store, and process information. As speed (data rate), data volume, distance, agility (latency), security, and reliability become “non-issues,”“infinite”capacity, and unlimited connectivity initiate an ecosystem paradigm shift, according to which network infrastructure as a whole is always available, scalable, and functioning “in the background,”whereas wireless access is ubiquitous and technology agnostic (independent). This new utility-like Quality of Experience clearly shifts the center of gravity from the network (infrastructure) side toward the user end (network edge) and from radio and networking technologies to applications.
