Using a cache to improve efficiency and to save on the cost of a computer system has been a field that attracts many researchers, including those in the area of cellular network systems. The first part of this chapter focuses on adaptive cache management schemes for cloud radio access networks (CRAN) and multi-access edge computing (MEC) of 5G mobile technologies. Experimental results run through CloudSim show that the proposed adaptive algorithms are effective in increasing cache hit rate, guaranteeing QoS, and in reducing algorithm execution time. In second part of this chapter, a new cache management algorithm using Zipf distribution to address dynamic input is proposed for CRAN and MEC models. A performance test is also run using iFogSim to show the improvement made by the proposed algorithm over the original versions. This work contributes in the support of 5G for IoT by enhancing CRAN and MEC performance; it also contributes to how novel caching algorithms can resolve the unbalanced input load caused by changing distributions of the input traffic.

The economy of China grows rapidly due to the advent of wireless networks. The networks provide connection between nodes (sensors, gateways, systems, people, etc.) for data transmission and communication seamlessly. This is a crucial element to achieve sustainable economics. It is worth mentioning that wireless communication is the optimal solution compared with wired communication given the fact that China has a huge land area and the largest population in the world. Traditional wireless technologies like 4G, Bluetooth, ZigBee, ISA 100.11a, and WirelessHART have been well addressed in literature. In this chapter, the focus is moved to 5G, LoRa, IEEE 802.11 af, ah, ax, and ay. Selected applications health monitoring, toxic gas monitoring, connected target coverage problem, and mobile crowd sensing are discussed in detail. Geographic routing, wireless charging, and wireless coexistence are challenging issues that need to be addressed in the near future.

Machine learning (ML) has evolved to the point that this technique enhances communications and enables fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks. ML is great to get insights about complex networks that use large amounts of data, and for predictive and proactive adaptation to dynamic wireless environments. ML has become a crucial technology for mobile broadband communication. Special case goes to deep learning (DL) in immersive media. Through this chapter, the goal is to present open research challenges and applications of ML. An exploration of the potential of ML-based solution approaches in the context of 5G primary eMBB, mMTC, and uHSLLC services is presented, evaluating at the same time open issues for future research, including standardization activities of algorithms and data formats.

The snowballing of many different electronic gadgets connected to different networks and to the internet is a clear indication that the much-anticipated internet of things (IoT) is fast becoming a reality. It is generally agreed that the next generation mobile networks should offer wireless connection to anything and anyone with a proper enabling device at any time leading to the full realization of IoT. Device-to device (D2D) communication is one technology that the research community believes will aid the implementation of the next generation of mobile networks, specifically 5G. Full roll out of D2D is however being impeded by the resulting interference. This chapter looks at the state-of-the-art research works on interference management technologies proposed for device-to-device communications. A comprehensive analysis of the proposed schemes is given and open challenges and issues that need to be considered by researchers in D2D communication for it to become a key enabler for 5G technology are highlighted and recommendations provided.

Next-generation network promises to integrate cross-domain carriers; thus, infrastructure can be provided as a service. 5G-PPP's vision is directed toward solving existing 4G LTE mobility challenges that congest core networks, disrupt multimedia and data transfer in high mobility situations such as trains or cars. This research adopts 5G methodology by using software-defined networking (SDN) to propose a novel mobile IP framework that facilitates seamless handover, ensures session continuity in standard and wide area coverage, and extends residential/enterprise indoor services across carriers under service level agreement while ensuring effective offload mechanism to avoid core network congestion. Performance excels existing protocols in setup and handover delays such as eliminating out-band signaling in bearer setup/release and isolating users' packets in virtual paths. Handover across cities in wide area motion becomes feasible with lower latency than LTE handover inside city. Extending indoor services across carriers becomes equivalent to LTE bearer setup inside a single carrier's PDN.

The fifth generation of wireless networks (5G) will kick off with evolved mobile broadband services as promised by several mobile-related associations, researchers, and operators. Compared to 4G, 5G aims to provide greater data rates with lower latency and higher coverage to numerous users who stream ubiquitous multimedia services. 5G benefits the innovation of internet of things (IoT) as well. To this end, several modifications in the network architecture are required. This chapter is discussing the role of cloud computing centers in 5G networks, and how such integration could be implemented as found in the literature. The benefits of cloud/5G integration will be explained as well. In addition, some challenges related to the integration will be demonstrated.

The delivery of healthcare in remote rural areas is a global phenomenon. Using digital governance, a discretized cluster of node relaying time-sensitive, and reliable data, life-critical health services can be ensured. Here tactile internet-based internet of things (IoT) and its variant internet of medical things (IoMT), as well as tactile internet, is introduced. Its relationship with 5G is explored. A model for e-health implementation using unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) in the backhaul is presented. The link is analyzed over fiber optics, satellite, and 5G network in terms of latency and reliability: the crucial metrics for robotic surgery. It is also shown that 5G implemented in Italy, Zimbabwe, and Cooks Island have supported mobile hospitals in rural regions. Hence, induction of 5G networks is a feasible approach. Finally, a critical review of expected future technologies including telematics is presented. Hence, tactile internet-based robotic surgery can reduce the digital divide.

Small-cell technologies are seen as one of the most promising solutions for the rapid growth of wireless data services and 5G requirements. However, because most SBSs are deployed with minimum intervention from the end users and the service providers, it is hard to mitigate co-tiered interference. It is significant to study the self-organized distributed co-tiered interference mitigation and resource allocation. Game theory is an effective distributed approach towards handling the distributed co-tiered interference mitigation problem without a central controller. This chapter is to address the application of game theory and distributed learning solutions for distributed co-tiered interference mitigation. Two potential game models for static and dynamic co-tiered interference mitigation are presented and discussed for small-cell networks with fixed loads and dynamic loads separately. In addition, two distributed learning algorithms are presented and results are discussed. Finally, some future research directions are given.

This chapter discusses the ongoing work around hybrid access and network convergence, with particular emphasis on recent works on ATSSS in 3GPP. Three main aspects are analyzed: policy enforcement, integration with 5G QoS framework, interaction with underlying multi-path transport protocol. The chapter also provides some preliminary testbed results showing the benefits of ATSSS in the management of multiple accesses analyzing some primary performance indicators such as achievable data rates, link utilization for aggregated traffic, and session setup latency. The chapter also provides some results by considering two examples of realization of ATSSS policies to avoid inefficiency in link utilization and to allow the fulfillment of data rate requirements.
