\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA comprehensive and approachable introduction to 5G and 5G-Advanced\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by a noted expert on the subject, this Second Edition of \u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to 5G\u003c/i\u003e delivers a comprehensive, system-level guide to 5G and 5G-Advanced. \u003cp\u003eBuilding on the foundations laid in the First Edition, the topics explored include the market and use cases for 5G-Advanced; the architectures of the next generation radio access network, open radio access networks and the 5G core; the principles of radio transmission, millimeter waves and MIMO antennas; the architecture and operation of the 5G New Radio; the implementation of network function services by means of HTTP/2; and the signaling procedures that govern the end-to-end operation of the system. \u003cp\u003eThis Second Edition has been thoroughly expanded and updated for 3GPP Release 18, to cover the new capabilities introduced under the name of 5G-Advanced. There are new chapters on: \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe foundations of 5G-Advanced, including non-terrestrial networks, multicast/broadcast services, wireless backhauling, unlicensed spectrum, and artificial intelligence and machine learning\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Internet of Things, including time-sensitive communications, non-public networks, edge computing, and massive machine-type communications\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDevice-to-device communications on the 5G sidelink, in support of vehicle, aircraft and proximity-based services\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe new features being introduced in 3GPP Release 19, and the expected applications, technologies and performance capabilities of 6G\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to 5G\u003c/i\u003e is written for engineering professionals in mobile telecommunications, for those in non-technical roles such as management, marketing and intellectual property, and for students. It requires no more than a basic understanding of mobile communications, and includes detailed references to the underlying 3GPP specifications for 5G. The book\u0026#8217;s approach provides a comprehensive, end-to-end overview of the 5G standard, which enables readers to move on with confidence to the more specialized texts and to the specifications themselves.
