R&D activities for 5G in IEICE technical committee on radio communication systems

As the demand for higher transmission rates and spectral efficiency is steadily increasing, the research and development of novel mobile communication systems has gained momentum. This paper focuses on providing a comprehensive survey of research and development activities on fifth generation mobile communication systems reported in IEICE technical committee on radio communication systems. We try to survey a vast area of wireless communication systems and the developments that led to future 5G systems.
