One of evaluation indicators of candidate waveforms for 5G mobile communication is spectral efficiency improvement by OOB(Out of Band) power reduction technique. In this paper, time-frequency resource allocation characteristic of UFMC(Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier), FBMC(Filter Bank Multi-Carrier), and W-OFDM(Weighted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is evaluated and analyzed. As simulation results, spectral efficiency characteristic of these systems have been improved according to time resource allocation. In this paper, we can confirm that each system has similar time-frequency efficiency characteristic when the number of transmission bit is same and four symbols are transmitted with the linear system condition. Also, we can conclude that FBMC system has the lowest time-frequency resource efficiency under the nonlinear condition.

The paper presents a design of simple four-element microstrip-patch array antenna that is suitable for 5G applications. The proposed array consists of four rectangular microstrip patch elements with semicircular etches made on both sides of each elements. The antenna is fed using the combination of series and corporate feeding networks. The size of the ground is also changed to improve the antenna frequency. Finally, yagi elements are also added to improve the directive gain of the antenna. The presented microstrip patch array is able to achieve wide frequency bandwidth of 21.95-31.86 GHz. The antenna has also attained gain of 9.7 dB at 28 GHz and has maintained high gain and high directivity throughout the frequency band. The proposed array antenna fed by series-corporate feeding network, with low profile and simple structure is a good candidate for 5G applications.

Double rectangular patch with 4-bridges is investigated for solution of IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) and 802.11a (5.5 GHz). Rectangular patch for 5.5 GHz frequency band is printed on the PCB substrate and connected to another rectangular patch for 2.4 GHz frequency band with 4-bridges to obtain dual band operation in an antenna element. 4-bridges can modify the desired frequency band from its original frequency band by changing its width. Gain of 2.4 GHz patch is 5 dBi and 5.5 GHz patch is 3.7 dBi at ${\theta}=0^{\circ}$.

본 연구에서는 고정 주파수를 갖는 유사 랜덤 주파수 캐리어 PW(PRC-PWM)을 제안하고 단상 5-레벨 캐스케이드 인버터에 적용하였다. 제안된 PRC-PWM의 펄스는 고정 주파수를 갖는 삼각파 캐리어와 그 역상의 삼각파 캐리어를 랜덤 비트 발생기(PRBS)에 의하여 랜덤하게 선택함으로서 새롭게 합성된 랜덤 주파수의 캐리어에서 얻고 있다. 제안된 PRC-PWM은 고정 주파수의 캐리어 합성만으로 랜덤 주파수의 캐리어를 매우 간단하게 구현할 수 있으며, R-L부하와 연결된 단상 5-레벨 캐스케이드 인버터를 제작하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

This paper introduces the 5G spectrum auction in Germany that occurred last summer and ended overheatedly after an extraordinarily long period. We describe the context of the latest German spectrum auction and trace the participants' bidding behavior. This case details the trend of the 5G spectrum auction and the factors that affect the spectrum auction as follows: First, it is determined that investment obligations that force network installations can be a financial burden to mobile network operators (MNOs) and require a careful approach. Second, excess demands can cause auction overheating and the spectrum supply volume needs to be determined by a proper demand forecast and investment incentive. Third, 'Set-Aside' for local usage aids in developing the vertical industry; however it limits the spectrum supply for mobiles and leads to higher bidding prices. Fourth, a modified adoption of a typical spectrum auction can alleviate MNO's financial burdens to secure the broadband spectrum. Finally, competition to secure the necessary bandwidth in the situation of limited spectrum supply may delay the process of the spectrum auction, causing it overheated.

A modified folded monopole slot antenna for 3G WCDMA (1.91 ~ 2.17 GHz), 4G LTE (2.17 ~ 2.67 GHz), 3.5 GHz 5G (3.42 ~ 3.7 GHz) and Wi-Fi dual band (2.4 ~ 2.484 GHz / 5.15 ~ 5.825 GHz) was proposed for the first time. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on a FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm, and size of 35 × 60 mm². The measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 2910 MHz(1.84 ~ 4.75 GHz) and 930 MHz(5.11 ~ 6.04 GHz), antenna gain in each frequency band is from 1.811 to 3.450 dBi. In particular, it was possible to obtain a commercially suitable omni-directional radiation pattern in all frequency bands of interest.

Fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication supports low latency of up to 1 ms or less, 20 Gbps of data rate, and more than 1 million connections. With these technical advantages, machines and equipment can be precisely adjusted, allowing 5G to be applied to industrial applications. To expand the industrial application of 5G wireless communications, major countries have introduced dedicated 5G, allowing specific companies to build and use 5G directly. Germany, UK, and Japan allocate 100 MHz, 416 MHz, and 1,200 MHz, respectively, of bandwidth dedicated to 5G. Companies with local licenses from the government are expected to accelerate the application of 5G at a low cost and low-frequency range. Therefore, Korea should introduce private 5G to foster 5G-related industrial ecosystems and successfully implement the fourth industrial revolution.

In 4G mobile communication, data services of mobile communication began to be provided in earnest. As a result, services such as the internet and multimedia including the video have become the main contents in the recent wireless traffic. Accordingly, research on 5G mobile communication with higher transmission rate has been actively carried out. 5G mobile communication is expected to be based on 4G for compatibility with existing terminals. Therefore, the simulation of this paper is based on 4G and we propose a new user scheduling scheme based on the Max throughput scheduling algorithm to improve system performance. This paper derives the frequency efficiency and fairness to compare the existing user scheduling algorithm with the proposed user scheduling algorithm. The proposed scheme shows better frequency efficiency and fairness than Max throughput in all situations. This paper contributes to the research for improving the system performance of 5G mobile communication technology, and I hope that it will help some of the ongoing standardization work.
