Towards combinatorial modeling of wireless technology generations

TL;DR

This paper surveys the evolution of wireless communication technologies and introduces a hierarchical combinatorial modeling approach to analyze and forecast future generations, exemplified through 5G improvements.

Contribution

It presents a novel hierarchical combinatorial modeling framework for wireless technology generations, integrating system evolution and forecasting methods.

Findings

Hierarchical combinatorial models effectively represent wireless technology evolution.

The approach can forecast improvements in 5G using a two-stage combinatorial method.

Numerical examples demonstrate the practical applicability of the modeling framework.

Abstract

The paper addresses the following problems: (1) a brief survey on wireless mobile communication technologies including evolution, history evolution (e.g., chain of system generations 0G, 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, 7G); (2) using a hierarchical structural modular approach to the generations of the wireless communication systems (i.e., hierarchical combinatorial modeling of the communication technologies), (3) illustrative usage of two-stage combinatorial approach to improvement/forecasting of the communication technology (a version of 5G) (on the basis of multiple choice problem). Numerical examples illustrate the suggested combinatorial approach.
