Abstract

Connectivity in recent wireless communication is accessible anywhere because of the large footprints of both cellular and WiFi networks. Yet, the broadcasting in wireless technology increases the susceptibility of signals to contemporary challenges such as interference, fading, and distortion. In addition, the energy of signals is lost because of Doppler effects and scattering caused by the obstacles in the channel. The use of smaller base stations, exploitation of higher frequencies and millimetre waves, and the expansion towards massive multiple-input multiple-output makes beamforming one of the most important key technologies in fifth generation (5G) systems. Besides the energy efficiency enhancements because of the narrower beamwidths, it reduces the broadcasting probability by adaptively steering the signals towards the targeted receivers while reducing the reception for nearby receiver, that is less interference. It also increases the energy efficiency of the signals because of the narrow beamwidth. In this work, the 5G technology challenges, two of the most known channel models, applications is briefly received. The fundamentals of beamforming technology are also described and provide the necessary information to understand the technology
