Unlocking the Potential of 5G-Cognitive Radio Network Applications

The fifth generation is the latest cutting-edge technology of next generation wireless mobile communication. The next generation mobile communication ie., 5G, supports technological advancements such as increasing capacity, network coverage, high data rate, better connectivity and low latency compared to 4G networks. Development in recent wireless communications has increased the radio spectrum demand. To meet this demand, the radio spectrum should be utilized effectively. One proposed technique for the future generation of wireless communication that aims to increase spectrum efficiency is CRNs, which stand for dynamic intelligent adaptive networks. Flexible versions of different waveform candidates can obtain the high data rate provided by 5G. This chapter explores how to use the available frequency spectrum for next-generation wireless communication in an interference-free manner. Furthermore, this chapter explores the potential benefits of 5G networks and their applications across various industries including digital agricultural sector, Internet of Things (IoT) and the healthcare sectors.
