Five disruptive technology directions for 5G. IEEE Commun. Mag. 2014 Feb 12;52(2):74-80. DOI:10.1109/MCOM.2014.67367460163-6804http://hdl.handle.net/10230/23144New research directions will lead to fundamental changes in the design of future 5th generation (5G)/ncellular networks. This paper describes five technologies that could lead to both architectural and/ncomponent disruptive design changes: device-centric architectures, millimeter Wave, Massive-MIMO,/nsmarter devices, and native support to machine-2-machine. The key ideas for each technology are described,/nalong with their potential impact on 5G and the research challenges that remain.application/pdfeng© 2014 IEEE.
