5G networks are rapidly expanding. Simultaneously, the need for a testbed-not a commercial network-is increasing to verify aspects such as 5G network security vulnerabilities. Open-source projects in 4G networks already exist and are implemented similarly in commercial networks. Due to the compatibilty between 5G and 4G networks, 5G networks are being developed and implemented as open-source projects on the basis of 4G networks. In this study, we review the development trends of 5G open-source projects and simulators that can be used for 5G research.

본 논문에서는 5G 무선 네트워크 D2D 시스템에서 수행될 수 있는 두 가지 액세스 제어 메커니즘들을 비교해 보고 효과적인 액세스 제어 기법을 제안한다. 현재 5G D2D 시스템에서는 액세스 제어 기법이 표준 규격에 제정 되어 있지 않고 있으나, 두 가지 액세스 제어 기법들이 가능하다. 하나의 방식으로는 UE-to-Network Relay 기반의 액세스 제어 기법이고, 다른 하나의 방식으로는 Remote UE 기반의 액세스 제어 기법이다. 전자의 경우는 UE-to-Network Relay가 액세스 제어 검사를 수행하는 것이며, 후자의 경우는 Remote UE가 액세스 제어 검사를 직접 수행하는 방식이다. 실험 평가 결과, 본 논문에서는 5G 무선 네트워크 D2D 시스템에서 효율적인 액세스 제어 방안으로써 Remote UE 기반의 액세스 제어 기법을 최종 제안한다. Remote UE 기반의 액세스 제어 기법은 UE-to-Network Relay 기반의 액세스 제어 기법이 비하여, 신호 오버헤드를 최소화하고, 서로 액세스 제어 기능들이 다른 경우 보다 효율적인 액세스 제어 검사를 수행할 수 있다.

With the rapid growth of network traffic, a large number of connected devices, and higher application services, the traditional network is facing several challenges. In addition to improving the current network architecture and hardware specifications, effective resource management means the development trend of 5G. Although many existing potential technologies have been proposed to solve the some of 5G challenges, such as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), edge computing, millimeter-wave, etc., research studies in 5G continue to enrich its function and move toward B5G mobile networks. In this paper, focusing on the resource allocation issues of 5G core networks and radio access networks, we address the latest technological developments and discuss the current challenges for resource management in 5G.

Extended reality (XR) provides an immersive virtual experience by using various media. The XR virtual environment enables interactions between the real and virtual worlds in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality scenarios. XR is being used in various areas such as industry, medical care, road transportation, gaming, education, and culture. XR and multimedia enhancement are important business scenarios for fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. As users' demand for emerging media services gradually increases, enhancements in networks should be implemented for delivering multimedia services such as XR. We describe related standardization trends and requirements of the XR service in 5G mobile networks. We also discuss technological enhancements for 5G mobile networks as specified by the 3GPP SA2 working group.

Demands for high-speed wireless data services grow rapidly. It is a big challenge to increasing the network capacity operating on licensed spectrum resources. Unlicensed spectrum cellular networks have been proposed as a solution in response to severe spectrum shortage. Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) was standardized by 3GPP, aiming to deliver data services through unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum. Furthermore, the 3GPP proposed 5G New Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U) study item. On the other hand, artificial intelligence (AI) has attracted enormous attention to implement 5G and beyond systems, which is known as Intelligent Radio (IR). To tackle the challenges of unlicensed spectrum networks in 4G/5G/B5G systems, a lot of works have been done, focusing on using Machine Learning (ML) to support resource allocation in LTE-LAA/NR-U and Wi-Fi coexistence environments. Generally speaking, ML techniques are used in IR based on statistical models established for solving specific optimization problems. In this paper, we aim to conduct a comprehensive survey on the recent research efforts related to unlicensed cellular networks and IR technologies, which work jointly to implement 5G and beyond wireless networks. Furthermore, we introduce a positioning assisted LTE-LAA system based on the difference in received signal strength (DRSS) to allocate resources among UEs. We will also discuss some open issues and challenges for future research on the IR applications in unlicensed cellular networks.

Recently, the sixth generation (6G) networks have become tremendous research topics. Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) technologies have been envisioned, to increase spectrum and energy efficiency for the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks, towards the sixth generation (6G) communications. In this paper, especially for the strongest channel gain user, we investigate the bit-error rate (BER) of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems with intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). First, we derive a BER expression in a closed-form of Q functions. Second, we investigate the BER performance improvement of IRS NOMA systems over NOMA systems versus the power allocation. Moreover, we analyze the BER performance improvement of IRS NOMA systems over NOMA systems versus the number of IRS devices. In results, NOMA equipped with IRS technologies could play an important role in the paradigm shift from 5G mobile networks to 6G mobile networks.
