The exact definition of the fifth generation cellular technology (5G) is not yet clear, but it is envisioned to address the demands of a fully mobile and connected society. The market outlook is based on some aggressive projections including massive growth in demand for mobile data; exploding diversity of wireless applications; and exponential increase in the number of connected devices, resulting in very diverse and sometimes extreme requirements on the network. This paper will provide an overview of the 5G vision and discuss key differences from 4G, some of the new candidate technologies - both evolutionary and revolutionary, the latest 5G market activities, and deployment timeline. It will conclude with a summary of design and measurement challenges and solutions.
