5th Generation Mobile Networks

The next generation mobile networks alliance say these are required for a network to be 5G :

1. Data rates of several tens of megabits per second should be supported for tens of thousands of users
2. gigabit per second to be offered simultaneously to many workers on the same office floor
3. Several hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections to be supported for massive sensor deployments
4. Spectral efficiency should be significantly enhanced compared to 4G
5. Coverage should be improved
6. Signalling efficiency should be enhanced
7. Latency should be reduced significantly compared to LTE

Replacement of your wallet and keys with your smartphone

With the advent of apple pay and samsung pay, paying for things have never been easier. The ability to pay with your phone is granted and can be connected straight to your bank through this method. Apple have also released a system that allows an iPhone owner to open and lock their front door with an app, removing the need for a set of house keys. This could also be used for car doors when the technology advances. Finger print recognition is also becoming more common in the latest phones, retinal recognition may also become something that rises in popularity. All these points add to being given the ability to use mobile devices to eventually serve as an ID card and also as a way of entry, removing the need of either a wallet or keys.

Flexible Screens

Flexible displays are displays that by nature are flexible. They are slowly being implemented in some phone designs, however, they aren't being used in many consumer products with only one or two being out for sale.

Mobile trends for future

Describe 1 in details of future mobile

Wearable technology: mobile technology is definitely the future of mobile technology, seven years is a short period of time but if we are talking about mobile technology seven years might seem as an eternity.

• I mean all the smart watches and smart glasses that are available currently on the market. In the following years these gadgets will change their anatomy, changing into dental fillings, tattoos or button covers
• Telecommunications experts are sure that in the future holograms will be a regular thing. Sound and image will break all technical barriers and users will be able to call each other and communicate like princess Leia with Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO and Luke Skywalker.
• Talk through holograms, it is difficulty not to include science –fiction when thinking about the future of mobile technology.
• Augmented reality will continue evolving in the following years so users will be used to live surrounded by virtual environments.
• Motorola Mobility, for instance, has recently patented a mobile system that’s implanted under the skin of the neck (where it can better capture human voice). What’s not so fun about this gadget is that it can detect when the user is lying by analyzing his nervous alterations.

Future phones

Morph phone which would transform the users experience (Nokia)

Samsung Galaxy Round smartphone, however, given its more recent innovative approach to smartphone shapes, CF: the Galaxy Edge, which was home to a ridged panel that doubled as a second screen, we think Samsung will continue to experiment with flexible phone technology and fully expect it to be first to market with a bendable handset.

Education

Some predictions state that in the not too distant future mobiles will change the way we learn and teach.

With more than one in three school children owning a mobile phone, a future where camera and voice recorder phones are both learning and teaching tools is highly possible.

We have already seen some education authorities using texts to alert parents to the truancy and even to notify pupils of classroom changes.

4G will be the new standard in cell phone networks. What this means: your phone will download data about as fast as your home computer can. While you’ve probably seen lots of 4G banter from the big cell providers, it’s not very widely available in most phones. However, both Verizon and the EU intend to do away with 3G entirely by 2013, which will essentially bring broadband-level speeds to wireless devices on cell networks. It won’t do away with standard internet providers, but it will bring “worldwide WiFi” capabilities to anyone with a 4G data plan.

The future of mobile technologies in the next ten years will most notably include much faster internet connections that enable users to communicate more effectively than ever before. As discussed by Hong, much more effective telepresence technology focussing on far higher quality of video transmissions will be just one major advancement in particular.
